I consider Thanksgiving as the official start to the Holiday Season (although the unofficial kickoff was seeing White Christmas and being moved to think about my blessingshappened a few weeks ago).  I love this time of year.  I love the food.  I love the traditions.  I love the warm, cozy feelings.  Well, not all of the feelings.  I don’t like the feeling of conflict and underlying…

It's now faux pax to send a basket of goodies to your child's teacher, because you don't know if she's on the Atkins diet, the South Beach diet, the raw food diet, or the I don't-eat-carbs diet.
