Happy Solstice!

[ellenmillion]

On this, the darkest day of the year, I offer you hope.

After all, you could be in Barrow fending off an invasion of Vampires for another half a month. (*weeps at the errors in that movie*)

But most of all, I want to remind you guys that you rock. If you're reading this, you have my gratitude. If you've ever commented, you have my undying love. You are a gathering of massively talented, big-hearted, fabulous-looking people who deserve every good thing that has ever happened to you, and I hope that the return of the sunlight brings you prosperity, success and love beyond your wildest dreams.

I hope that your holidays of choice are guilt-free and decadent, filled with the people who mean the most to you.

Thank you for the cards and virtual cookies! I have failed again to get Christmas cards out, but know that you are in my thoughts and forgive me my laziness.

If there is snow where you are, my suggestion to you is to go start a snowball fight with strangers and then have hot chocolate with candy canes.

And for the love of heaven, don't try to go shopping.

(I tried, yesterday, and barely made it home with all my limbs attached...)

PS: If you're in the Southern hemisphere, this still all applies. Except for the vampires.

Blessing on you and yours, Ellen. I'm glad you're in my life, even in little pixels on a screen.

Blessings back - and I am so happy to have pixels of you in my life, too!

Happy Solstice back at'cha!

I attempted to start a snowball fight, but the snow was too powdery and wouldn't hold the proper shape. I opted to make snow angels instead. WHEE!

Snow angels are a suitable substitute!!

It is on days like these I appreciate my online friends. With words can rant and rave about my ups and downs, and none of you take it so personally as to shun me or offer anything but constructive criticism and kindness. Via photos I can share my current triumphs or mishaps, and you are all there to smile or commiserate or laugh with me at my own folly. I know that, peaks or troughs, feast or famine, there is always someone here with whom I can share. It's appreciated. It's priceless.

Exactly!

Pretty much no snow here, oddly enough, but, I'm liking the hot chocolate idea. :)

Best to you. :)

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

Short of snow, the hot chocolate alone will suffice. The best to you, too!

Thank you for the well wishes!

I hope you and yours are warm, cozy, and happy.

While I don't celebrate the Solstice as a religious holiday, I do celebrate it for other reasons. (This happens to be my Wedding Anniversary!)

Happy Holidays (And Hooray for the Days getting Lighter!)

[ellenmillion.livejournal.com]

Happy anniversary! And happy more daylight to everyone!

All the best, Ellen!
