I know I keep linking to these, but Marie Green’s latest in the “she would like another baby but her husband would not” series is killing me, and I think I’ve checked the comments section two dozen times: An Appointment to Erase Hope.

To counteract the sad, I love Anne’s post about Holiday Percentages and How to Make It Merry. Not only did I like her points about how to improve the holidays by choosing the parts you LIKE and doing THOSE, but she’s doing a giveaway of her holiday cookies and I am VERY FOND of holiday cookies. You can enter as many times as you want, as long as each entry includes something you love about the holidays.
