Remember those Obama cookies? Well, today I finally met Amy, one of the owners of The Night Kitchen Bakery. Life Partner and I stopped by to order holiday cookies for the party we are planning next Saturday. 

It was a great day all in all. After stopping off at the bakery, we bought our tree and a new red and gold embossed skirt to wrap around its base. For now, the little fir is settling into its corner, drinking water and reaching its branches out into the warmth of our room. And tomorrow will be trim-the-tree time. 

Quote of the day

Demonization, guilt by association, and the politics of fear did not triumph, not this time. Let’s hope they never will again. And let’s hope we might now assert that in our wildly diverse society, talking and listening to the widest range of people is not a sin, but a virtue.
