I didn't dislike the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies this 2025 Countdown To Christmas season...but LOVED the two series-MIstletoe Murders and Twelve Dates 'Til Christmas...I just felt that the network could have elevated the movies since there was only 24.

More of this kind of rich person, please.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Though sometimes difficult to rehome, senior dogs can make great pets because they are long past the frenzied puppy stage, often well-trained and likely settled into some sort of routine.
Dog rescues are booming, but few focus on ‘elder pups.’ Here are two leading the way in Minnesota.
Grey Face Rescue and Retirement in St. Cloud and Top Dog Foundation in New Germany aim to give senior dogs the “most amazing second act.”

This makes even more sense when you are married to a Swede. There is a sense of fairness and community. And as someone who volunteers for husky rescue--Sweden has rights for dogs--look them up! There are no shelters necessary because people are born with a sense of responsibility.

There's been a lot of talk about Ophelia lately, as befitting one of the most tragic figures in literature. I wrote my own version of "The Fate of Ophelia" years ago. Reprinted in 2019 and feels relevant today.
