Please Understand...

Decorating is done, baking is done, notes for grandkids are nearly done, and the really old guy is still out flying me in the RC helos war games...
Boughs of evergreens adorn the house, lights glow, Christmas hymns play softly, and the fireplace sparks a thousand memories of the end of an era. 
All will surely be cheerful & light again, but til then please understand...
