My daughter Jessica arrived home a few days ago but soon left on a ski trip with her fiance Matt and his family. She comes back this afternoon. While she was briefly home, we went to the Great Dickens Christmas Fair at the Cow Palace. My mother and I also went to the Dickens Fair after Thanksgiving with my brother Pete and his family, so we have had quite the Victorian Christmas so far. (I have seen Gilbert and Sullivan’s Mikado twice this year!) I have also visited family, participated in the annual Sun Labs Christmas Cookie Exchange, and enjoyed the SunCaroler’s Menlo Park campus walking concert, the 1st annual Willow Glen Lions Holiday Party, and other delights of the season.
