Ten things to read or listen to between Christmas and New Year's Eve

"Both/and"

From the Grotto’s Christmas Festival of Lights earlier this week.

Portland’s iced over, and I’m obsessively reloading my son’s flight info (Delayed? Cancelled?). Meanwhile, I’m poring through everyone’s year-end “top ten” lists and “what I learned in 2022” posts. I love year-end recaps reviews. I secretly hope they’ll unlock some elusive clarity about the last twelve months, or perhaps reveal my Golden Ticket to 2023. (I’ll let you know.)
