Hot chocolate & Pottery Barn

For me, the holiday season officially starts when Daylight Savings Time ends, ushering in the depressingness of spending every daylight hour locked in my office, trapped under cold fluorescent lighting, my retinas seared by the phosphorescent glow of my computer screens. I drive home with the headlights on, check the mailbox by what little bit of light is left as the sun dips below the horizon, go inside, turn on the heat and settle down in just the right spot on the couch with a fresh Pottery Barn catalog--the holiday issue--and a mug of hot chocolate. Ahhh. The greatest joys in life really are *that* simple. :)
