I am not a huge fan of resolutions... Resolutions fail. You know this. I know this. The gym knows this on January 15. The scale knows this by March 1. There is nothing wrong with resolutions...

Christmas... That time of year when we gather, often with people we haven't seen in a year or more.  That time when so much joy can be experienced.  So much good can happen. And so much CHAOS!...
