Here is the current back of the canvas for the coming holiday(s) that have made up the last few days:  buying Christmas stamps, planting paperwhites in their containers, storing the fans and bringing out the nutcrackers, fighting an overflowing amount of people at the grocery store to get needed stuff, buying 5 pounds of string beans, cleaning up the little berries that have fallen off the bittersweet before someone steps and squshes them, looking for and not finding (yet) the right card to send.  Etc. These are the things that lie at the back of the "canvas" for the holidays--for a lot of women anyway.   They are wonderful in their own way.
