A day late, but Happy Orthodox Christmas! Also, a sincere thank you >>> Archived Message Posted by Patsy aka Madra on January 8, 2021, 10:59 am to everyone to took part (or tolerated!) the Twelve Days of Christmas. Although I have always been quite good at being by myself, which is a plus during these times, it dawned on me that I was in some sort of slump, mood, the doldrums, a funk, ennui...please feel free too add any other synonyms. Since holiday celebrations just weren't going to happen, I came out of lurkdom and started the 12 as a way to break away from my yuck. Your answers and participation made for a great tonic - and without side effects or hangovers! 2021 has gotten off to a truly odd start. May it somehow result in a greater good. Let's all continue to enjoy life, each other, and the fun of The Studio Commissary! Message Thread: A day late, but Happy Orthodox Christmas!
