spinning

i feel like this month has been like one of those carnival rides - the kind that spin and spin and spin.  and i feel like the kid who wants to get off, but the ride operator can't hear me yelling for him to stop the ride and so it just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning and i can't catch my breath.

so for now, a few scenes from our holiday.  

i'm hoping that the spinning will stop tomorrow and i can sit down and type.  because i have things to say.  but in the meantime, donuts and dreidels will have to do.

for me that spinning doesn't stop until midnight on the 25th...

but since it's only once a year, I can handle it...well, almost.....

despite the culture of this season, we really don't have to do everything. :-)

slowing down in this season is difficult, but oh so necessary. wishing you a long, slow day.

Your pictures are beautiful, and so is your prose. I hope the seasonal spinning stops soon!

I hope that all that spinning has since stopped, and thanks for the charming illuminated scenes. Those multicoloured candles are super.
