Busy day ahead, take hubby for a doctor's appointment, an office party, showing property in the late afternoon, then off to pickup my buddy Jerry Lee Lewis (my white trash poodle) and go for a stroll in downtown New Braunfels for Wassailfest. Saying hello to everyone, checking out the store windows and judging the different types of wassail. Each office and company has their own special ingredient. Several years ago, it is rumored that one place, no longer open, used just a touch of bug repellant. So I will be on the  watch for that faint tingle of "RealKill" on the palate;-)

I am planning on meeting a lot of friends there and hoping to pass out a ton of business cards, too. (It never hurts.) What are your plans during this holiday season? We are making a trip to Houston in a week or two for the dysfunctional "Animal House" family gathering we hold every few years. So far, no animals have been fried in the Chritmas tree...yet.

Whatever your plans, be sure to remember the reason for the season...and don't get too stressed about the "Stuff." I guarantee, in ten years, nobody will remember if the bows were just so, but they will remember if everyone was relaxed and had fun.
