   We only used it in that context, too. If you have the time (haha, I know you don’t right now!), the Wikipedia entry for “dinner” is an interesting read. From the etymology tracing back to “ending a fast”, and how/why the largest meal got pushed later in the day, it had me saying, “huh!” a few times.

   I hope you’re having a nice holiday season! I meant to get back to our other conversation, but accidentally closed the tab, and didn’t have the time to rummage through old strips to find it. Oops! :)

   My dog is no longer a puppy, but still has sharp enough teeth that she punctures the pillow-style squeakers. Poor girl was disappointed that her Christmas pickle no longer squeaks!

   Is it the correct size to wedge under the wobbly coffee table leg?

   I read “Trippy” and thought of something else… :D

   And, orange creamsicle. Sweet-tarts, and other candy brands have released some as well.

   I don’t know if it’s just American.

   But, when I was little, I remember one year that my church had a list of the older members who couldn’t get out much. We split up into groups and went only to the houses of the older folks.

   Early last week, members from our local high school band went caroling in groups of four around the neighborhood. They were doing it as a fundraiser. It was nice, because it was instrumental, so no “off key” singers.

   The dates included in the 12 days does vary by denomination. Most do include Dec 25 as the start, but not all. Some don’t start the first day until Dec 26, thus including the Epiphany. Add in those who have tried to keep tradition when switching from Julian to Gregorian calendars, and it gets even more complicated!

   We should swap with each other; I rarely have “enough” for us to enjoy after sending them out! :D

    I’m not Latina, so I’m definitely not an expert about the various Latino cultures. But, I grew up in Miami, and then lived near San Antonio for over 10 years. And, my husband’s family is from the Dominican Republic. So, I’ve been introduced to a wide variety of Latino cultures (and food! :D ) While there’s a lot of overlap in the cultures, there are also significant differences. It’s similar to assuming that because Canada, Australia, the US, etc, were all colonized by England, and we speak the same language, we’re all the same. Nope!

    Keep up that streak! Even the little 5 to 10 minutes practices help!
