[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]For the first time since 1982, I will not be waking up at my parents’ house on Christmas morning. I will not be making a holy racket at 5:45 AM in an attempt to wake my three siblings a bit early. I won’t…

Today: Jingle all the way.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This weekend’s festivities and bone-chilling temperatures were exactly what I needed to kick my holiday spirit into high gear.

Today: A day of gratitude.
As you well know, I won’t be touching the turkey. I might touch the sweet potatoes, though. Multiple times. Tomorrow is all about being thankful, which is easy when you have so much: good health, strong faith, the love of a lifetime, parents who lead…
