2026 Life Logs, Day 06: The Twelfth Day of Christmas
Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2026
Weather: Partly Cloudy; High 39, Low Temp 34 degrees F
Location: At Home with My Shadow, Falmouth, MA
On this twelfth day of Christmas, sadly the snowman Ziggy, Coco, and Justin built in the front yard on New Year’s morning fell over as the temperature rose above freezing. It was a visual reminder to me that the holiday season has ended. Since I have a tradition of taking down the Christmas tree on this day, that was a second visual reminder that it is time to store the memories and get on with the winter.
I had only one meeting today, but tomorrow I have meetings all morning spilling into the afternoon. Yep, life is getting back to normal, but before it disappears, I need to figure out how to bottle up all the positive holiday spirit and put it towards figuring out what we can do locally to fight the madness that is happening in this country. It continues to get worse with each passing day, so how do we effectively make it clear that enough is enough? I wish I had a magic wand, but since I don’t, we just have to figure out what we can use instead. If you have suggestions, please send them my way.
