Happy Holiday, Gone Wassailing…

Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Feliz Navidad and all that good stuff. Picture me here, in my living room, basking in the glow of the tree and sipping a little souped up nog. Hold that picture for a few days. It’s a good one. One I wish were close to the truth of what’s really going on here. The snow is lovely. That’s a start. But, when admiring that photo of the winter wonderland outside our living room windows, you must also imagine the fresh hell of ice dams on the roof, causing all melt water to pool and course into the window frames, collect in the sills and pour over onto the hard wood floors. You must imagine me discovering this interesting and disastrous winter effect only minutes before my son’s class party is to take place and the in-laws are to arrive by plane from Florida.
Gasp. Make that a thermos of souped up nog!
