There's No Place Like Home...

As my darling Padraig heads home to Ireland for the Holidays, I just wanted to note how thankful I am for my own home and large family as most of us gather for XMAS at my mother's house here in San Diego. It's interesting that as I grew up I never had any clue that some people actually don't get along with their siblings or folks. I am very blessed to be a part of a huge, close hispanic family - especially around the holidays! Long prayers aside, there will be great amounts of food and laughter to look forward to and I would like to take a moment to wish all of you a safe holidays as well!
