The Holiday Entertaining Season ends

I love this time of year, but - on this second day of January, 2006, I'm happy that it's come to an end. Starting with Thanksgiving, we had three major parties/dinners, plus my daughter's large sleep-over birthday party. That meant lots of cooking, lots of guests, and lots of cleaning. It's enjoyable, but there's always a sense of relief once we get to end. Whew!
