It's that time of year to be jolly, get into the holiday spirit and overlook family dysfunctions. In my old age I feel more like scourge this time of year, but getting gifts for the grandchildren saves me from total despair. One habit I have taken up over the years of living here is to take a picture of the Christmas tree standing in the middle of Oakland, and sending it out by email to family and friends in place of Christmas cards. Sure saves on postage and a good way to get a response from old friends and distant relatives scattered across the country.
Merry Christmas from Oakland, Oregon!
