I had forgotten the fun of toddlers at Christmas! Specifically, in this case, I had forgotten the fun of listening to toddlers sing Christmas carols.

“We wish you a Merry Christmas,” Sadie has been singing, over and over again, “And a Happy ‘Oh, Dear.’ ”

A happy “oh, dear,” indeed. That may be an excellent description of my very own self.

May your oh, dears be few this week, and your happinesses be many.
