This time of year is stressful for me. As the mom of adult children, so many responsibilities fall on my shoulders to make the holidays perfect.

I can’t believe there are no outside lights.” Throw in the fact that finals happen right in the middle of all this, along with a zillion essays to grade, and it’s more of a recipe for burnout than peace on earth.
