Simple Pleasures

December 30, 2003, 2:59 p.m.
The last of the wrapping paper has found its way to the recycle bin, the needles are slowly falling off of the Christmas tree, and the thank you cards have been dropped in the mailbox. It’s official: The holidays are over.

The holidays brought so much magic into my life – letters and cards from family and friends scattered throughout the world, special chocolate treats sent from Canada with love, late nights with J and endless hours to read and write in front of the fire.

These are a few of my favorite things from the past few weeks:

I had a surprise visit from Julie, the founder of Be Real Magazine and a wonderful friend, who hopped a plane from San Francisco to Portland, just for fun.

J and I went to Seattle to see Late Nite Catechism the ACT Theatre. The hilarious one-woman show features Aubrey Manning in the role of “Sister” in an adult Catechism class. It is one of the longest-running shows in Seattle and well worth the trip.

Footsy pajamas

J’s homemade Thai soup, heated games of Battleship, and cheesy holiday movies

I wish you the same simple pleasures this holiday season. Happy New Year!
