Proof positive Julia Child was absolutely brilliant *
PENSIEVE —
... * post phoned in because I MISS my blog more than rain loves a just-washed car and I had to at least visit my compose window. It might seem quiet here at the ol' PENSIEVE, but I've been writing "everywhere else" and tomorrow you'll find me at one of the internet's shiniest new stars, but not in the screamy "I'M-SO-FABULOUS-LOOK-AT-ME!!!" kinda way, more like the quiet and unexpected "um-yeah-I'm-the-God-of-the-Universe-and-I'll-show-up-like-you'd-least-expect" kinda way.

I'm dreaming of a {red &} white Christmas...!
PENSIEVE —
... This year, as I've intentionally minimized in other ways, to initiate ChristmasChange in our home, we decided to get that second tree for the keeping room. A tree decorated in red and white. It's a mixture of the new and old--I was happily surprised at how many old ornaments we had that fit the simple color theme. And...it's a poignant reminder of sacrifice to me--I remember what I gave up last year, so it means more to me. I know that sounds silly...I didn't do without a thing I needed when we gave up that tree, ...
