"  I&amp;#039;ve mentioned it before. I am a weather wimp. I don&amp;#039;t miss trudging thru the snow to a Christmas party, stomping my feet a bunch of times to dislodge the compacted snow from the tread of my boot, and then compromising my lower back as I strive to get my boots off, so that I can proceed to the party space, find a seat on a sofa, preferably by a glowing fire and start sipping a glass of wine. Here in Florida, I drive to the party, kick off my flip flops off in one easy motion, and arrive at the wine bar a lot quicker. But here are just a few shots I&amp;#039;ve taken of sunny Noel.     My friend Cathy has a cupcake and other baked goods pre-occupation and shares her &amp;quot;sweet love&amp;quot; with her friends. The cookies are from a party that she and her daughter Eliza hosted. and the tree is in Eliza&amp;#039;s room.    The children at Sammi&amp;#039;s elementary school sent off handmade cards to the soldiers in Iraq.  That&amp;#039;s it for today. If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you have all had a lovely day. If you don&amp;#039;t celebrate it, I hope you enjoyed the day to do something that pleases you. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
