I, too, get to pack a lot of celebration into this space in the year, although both my children were born in November rather than December (and yes, Ali, it does hit the pocketbook rather hard!). So worth it all, though. We have very simple traditions now that the children are grown, but little things weave through from long ago, and new traditions have been adopted (like celebrating Hanukkah as well). The Ancestor is one of my very favorite Wildwood cards. She's just so…right the way Worthington made her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695429841529630819.post-48127745846254298232013-11-03T18:26:13.890-05:002013-11-03T18:26:13.890-05:00Thanks for the kind words, Sharon!

Many of my students are from various areas of Asia (usually Korea, China and Japan) and I was impressed with how Halloween has manifested across the globe, with dressing up and parties.
