EAT DRINK BE MERRY
editor's letter
CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST UPON US. THIS YEAR HAS PASSED JUST AS QUICKLY AS ANY OTHER. NOW IT IS TIME TO RELAX, TO SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY THE LAST MONTH OF THE YEAR 2012. I CANNOT WAIT TO SPEND THE HOLIDAYS WITH MY FAMILY AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE PRESENTS, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE ALL GATHER AT GRANDMA. NOBODY COMES UP WITH EXCUSES; WE ARE ALL THERE IN THE SAME TIME AT THE SAME PLACE TO CELEBRATE. EVEN THE FOOD TASTE BETTER THAN USUAL BECAUSE IT IS MADE WITH LOVE AND EXCEPTIONAL CARE. WE POURED OUR HEART INTO THIS WINTER EDITION; LET THIS BE OUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT, SEE YOU ALL IN 2013. WE WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
