those pilgrims had more than cool hats

They were also good at inventing holidays.  No presents -- save a hostess gift -- and no huge commercial surge to bring on the gimmies, and I'm in.  I think Easter comes in at a close second, and we'll have to thank the pagans and the Christians for that one.

We went to my brother's new house for two days, including a wonderful/stressful mini-high-school reunion.  And, I annoyed everyone by taking their picture as if I were a pap stalking a starlet in rehab.

Hope yours was just as wonderful.

And now, see the twinkling lights ahead?  It's that freight train we call Christmas.  Look out.

I hear the distance whistle too, but trying to be gentle on myself and everyone this season. Light and easy on the commercialism, save for the requisite electronic gifts: camera and Ipod (shhhhh!)

I love your processing. Did you use any actions, or is it all levels and curves?
