I’ll admit it, I was not ready for the onslaught of The Holidays that blindsided me approximately five minutes after I finished off some last bites of mashed potatoes on Thursday evening. It always surprises me how fast it goes from Show Season to Holiday Season. It’s almost enough to make me want to head to Florida this year! I’ve already heard more than enough Christmas music and counted five Christmas trees tied to SUVs cruising down the road. It’s the time of year where you want those you care about close at hand to share in some of the seasonal cheer. Of course, when that seasonal cheer and closeness gets to be too much, escaping to the barn is the obvious answer. Preferably in the before dawn hours and only returning after dark.
