Raindrops On Roses

In the spirit of the holidays, thought I'd mention a few of my favorite things that are impossible to wrap and equally impossible to live without:

• My son Jack's dimple, which he calls his "pimple."


• Bacon, regardless of how it makes the house smell all day.


• This morning on my way into work, I saw a 50-year-old man skipping down the sidewalk.


• The sound of my dog Olive's toenails on the hardwood floor when everyone else is sleeping.


• My daughter Kate's freckly nose.


• My mom actually used these words this week: "Well, do whatever you need to do. We're fine with it."


• Jack's picture of a monster inside a rainbow.


• My favorite Christmas ornament, which is a little porcupine made out of clay and actual porcupine needles, enclosed in a plastic ball.


• The fact that my husband Steve wants to sculpt a scene for a homemade snow globe.


• The Polar Express.


• My brother-in-law Andy, who pulled over to take a photo of a roadside sign that showed a picture of a cow and the words "agape."


• Kate's endless renditions of "Heart and Soul" on our little Casio. OK, that's a love/hate one.


• The smell of coffee and jet fuel because that means I've gotten up early to go somewhere.


• I was asked by a friend to write a note from Santa so her son wouldn't recognize her handwriting.


• LOL cats.


• A container of homemade cookies lovingly baked just for me by a good friend. Especially those poppyseed ones.


• Mull cider, because the aromas remind me of the warmth of my in-law's home.


• The sound of my sister's terminally happy voice on the phone, which sounds just like mine only happier.


• Gonzo, from the Muppets.


• The new Southwest Airlines iPhone app.


• Pie. All kinds.


• Snow. From a distance.

Happy Everything!
