A Hostess for Heartbreak

The season comes with a lot of expectations, and that is how we get snapped. In my experience, any good hostess should have tissues, wine, band-aids and sweets on hand.

I am enjoying the caramel salted chocolates from Trader Joe's. That store can really make the season feel potent with festivities. I also like a good Pinot Noir. It soothes the tongue and fills the soul. Tangerines are an easy gift, each coming individually wrapped for the outstretched hand. In fact I carry some in the car for the homeless kids on the corner. I hope your holidays are not filled with tears and disappointment. If you are so lucky though, keep an ear for the weary angel that might show up unexpected at your door.
