The candle in this centerpiece still burns, though the dinner eaten around it is now merely leftovers, destined for ham sandwich lunches and microwaved dinners. The Grinch has been watched (classic animated version, of course) and many Christmas CDs listened to (though more await their turn than there are hours left in the holiday). Tomorrow it’s back to work for me, but I still have a few more hours to drink eggnog and celebrate with the one I love, so I shall.
