They are filled with the same warmth and humor, and always some new-to-me fact (although being a native Caifonian, I did know about the holidays). Fun post, Camile.

I just love her work. But on to the subject of holidays. It's often alarming for East Coast people to learn that here in California we don't celebrate Columbus Day. East Coasters almost find it un-American. However, we do celebrate the first Americans, the indigenous people. To each his own, I guess.<br />Thanks for an entertaining read, Camille, and happy writing!Heather Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897843833755126739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849561.post-59984795821976245442016-05-05T10:17:40.117-05:002016-05-05T10:17:40.117-05:00Kevin, I feel like just being on your blog makes i...Kevin, I feel like just being on your blog makes it holiday for me!<br /><br />Lois, what a kick.

I'm a creature of habit and surprises are not my thing. In my case, hell would be where I'm in a groundhog's day loop of people endlessly jumping out from behind a sofa and yelling "surprise!" Just shoot me now.<br /><br />Except please don't shoot me, that would be too disruptive...Maggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849561.post-70907042374000233552016-05-05T07:03:32.536-05:002016-05-05T07:03:32.536-05:00Camille, I know the feeling!
