My Top Ten Favorite Things of the Last 100 Days
#6 – Christmas Day


I will probably get grief for putting Christmas Day as “only” #6.  To those critics I say, “It’s in the Top Ten.  Live with it.”  Here's a picture of Crumpet the Elf:



The 100-day experiment continues, and Christmas Day is a time to reflect over the past 94 days and look forward as the last six days tick off. Yes, the numbers are off, but you won’t see that until the end.  When I started in September, Christmas seemed a long way off.  Now it’s come and gone.  “Tempus fugit” is completely true.
