I’ve always loved the song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” but this year it takes on a bittersweet twist. Like most people, I am staying home rather than going home.

Even though My Own True Love and I are not heading out on a holiday adventure this year, I plan to give myself a brief holiday from blogging for the rest of the year.* Unless I stumble across something that I feel I absolutely need to tell you RIGHT NOW, I’ll be back in January with some great stories from the corners of history, some books you ought to read, and some things I’ve been mulling over. In other words, business as usual.

In the meantime, have a merry/jolly/happy/blessed time as you celebrate the victory of light over the darkness in the tradition of your choice.

*Maybe even from work in general. **

**I hear the people who know me In Real Life snickering all over the internet,  but it could happen.
