12.30.19 Chrismukkah

Chrismukkah 2019 began when Emma flew, secretly, half way across the world. Hints were unintentionally dropped and, apparently, unnoticed, so the looks of happy surprise on Steve, Collin, Emily, Nancy and Barry's faces proved our efforts a success ... Family, friends, skiing, collaboratively cooked food (highlights: Collin and Emily's zucchini/potato and purple sweet potato latkes and Emma's famous Linzersterne and ginger cookies), stories, games, puzzling, beverages, cuddle-inducing fires ... a full embrace of Hygge.
