Normally I do not comment on current events but today warrants an exception. I had a "Friday Favs" post all ready to go, featuring a shopping list of great gifts for every member of the family right down to the pups in our lives, but a day like today makes me realize now more than ever that Christmas is not about gifts. Christmas is supposed to be a time of peace and joy, not senseless acts of violence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected by today's horrible tragedy in Connecticut.
