_____ Sometimes I daydream about having a farm and a wife and some babies and watching the grass grow, but you have to meet the right person for that. - Conor Oberst _____ In the kitchen, I hear them talking low, in suspicious voices. Not of crimes or takedowns or sinister moves, but something altogether different than that, I would say, judging by the rush and rumble of the words beneath the sidewalks of the moment I am living in: Up on a ladder/ my thumb throbbing up against a thumb tack/ all in an effort to hang a cardboard Santa Claus above the window over by my Civil War bookshelf.
That third picture ... is just ... I mean ... wow. Santa is gonna be awestruck when he lands in your digs tonight. I hope you can sneak a peek of that moment.
Beautiful words about a beautiful woman. Merry Christmas, Bielankos.
Happy Holidays Serge. One of my buddies (Gregory Acken) from Villanova days, is also an author who has written about the Civil War and Gettysburg. I bought my Dad both of his books a few Christmas's ago, you would enjoy.
Ewww! I feel like some kind of Christmas voyer looking in your window and witnessing this beautiful scene! Merry Christmas & Happy holidays to you and the wonderful family! Thanks again for the gift of your stories. I look forward to those yet to be told. Cheers Serge!
Merry Christmas! Or Merry Christine, as all my cards used to say, after writing half of one's name. It's a weird one this year, for sure. We're moving on Monday and while the tree is up, that's about it. The rest is just boxes and stress. I don't know why I'm telling you this but it seems like you're in the same sort of holiday mood- a wee removed but overjoyed for what you have. Wishing your family the best, and a very merry new year.
That's a surreal Christmas, I'm sure, around your place. But I hope it stands as one of the best you've ever had. You never know, right? It just might. It probably will. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Xine.
“I stand there and the tack holes go to stars…” Thank you for the stories, and keep letting those sparks of light in.
Thanks, Taryn.
Merry Christmas.
Lovely. Your cup runneth over my friend. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas Serge, Arle, Violet, Milla, Henry, Piper & Charlie.

Thanks, Brian. That is super cool. Love his book about Capt. Donaldson and the 118th PA so much. Merry Christmas to you and your family, my friend.

Thanks! I had a stress dream that since I didn't decorate enough, I wrapped all the packing boxes 🥴
