I’ll have the holidays, on the side

Friday, December 8th, 2006

I’ve been avoiding holiday stuff in general these days. No tree this year, no sugar-loaded cookie baking, no crazed shopping excursions… I’m bypassing it all. Instead of gifts between friends this year, we are making donations to our favourite charities and foundations. For me, that will be the Maiwa Foundation and the Surfrider Foundation… We really don’t need anything except for our family and friends to be healthy and happy and to enjoy that with them. But I was _more than tickled_ this morning when I found a photo from Meredith in my inbox:

Meredith’s new yarn…

She wrote:

_Words cannot express…
So I figured a picture would do.
Just wanted to send a little thank you for making such beautiful yarn. I just received it today in the mail from Pick up Sticks here in Ontario and have been on pins and needles waiting for it!! I’m so excited it’s here!_

_I can’t wait until the holiday knitting is done because these two babies are for ME! Ha ha! Looks like I’m getting two pairs of luxurious socks for Christmas this year, huh? *big grins*_

_Thanks again, you do such beautiful work with yarns and dyes!
All good things,
Meredith_

Well, I was downright touched. That’s all that I can hope for… that yarn, colours, and fibres bring you joy this holiday season.

Thank you, Meredith!
