Zheng and I feel blessed that the holiday was so restful. We are headed back north, amidst snow-covered scenery and cuddly cats (well, the cats get raucous at times in the car).

"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home."
