I love Christmas. Not just the day itself, but the full holiday season. There’s just something a little magical about the twinkling lights, the garland wrapping around doorways and staircase railings, music, traditions, family and cooking. Even the cooking becomes an event and I think those vegetables sauteing and meat roasting smell just a little bit better.

Last year I wished you a Merry Christmas from DC. This year, I am happy to send warm Christmas wishes from Dallas. To all of you celebrating this year:

Merry Christmas from Texas!
