Case: Resolving to make 2025 the year of the snowshoe hare

Well, we made it through another round of holidays!

Now, don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas, the special time of year, giving and getting presents, and all of the wonderful food. (Yes, especially the food!) Sometimes, not always, people actually act like they have some sense and are a little kinder and more considerate of each other. (OK, I can dream, can’t I?)

What I don’t like is the rush, the hurrying, the mad frantic pace leading up to the big day.

OK, now that I got that out, I feel better. Don’t you?

Then, once Christmas is done, we are soon looking down the gun barrel at New Year’s Day. I know it doesn’t get all the hoopla of Christmas, but you have to admit it is a pretty big deal in its own right.
