*Hugs* Well, we just have to roll with what we're dealt, eh? To mix a couple of metaphors... LOL!

Of course I hid! Parades... eeeeeeek! And I did do one Solstice Parade with a belly dancing group. I did not like it at all. All the dancing energy dissipated to the winds and there was no audience feedback, you know?

Yeah, it's still a good season, regardless. Pretty little lights everywhere, happy music. I'm such a sap! *More hugs* Admire your tree for me, okay?
