Before Lost season 4 begins

Speed-viewing seasons
one through three’s like life in the
hatch. Push the button.

Chenay Bay – Third day, Christmas eve

Day in Christiansted.
Cool arched walkways, courtyards lined
with stores. Few shoppers.

Chenay Bay display

Wet bathing suits, striped
towels hang from porch rails like
vacation banners.

Chenay Bay – First night

Island band’s Christmas
tunes with a reggae twist our
dinner serenade.

It’s not Christmas without…

Andy Williams. Bing
Crosby. John Lennon. Jose
Feliciano.

Christmas triage

Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?

Gentlewomen’s lament

God rest ye merry
gentlemen? I don’t see them
lifting a finger!

It’s a wonderful life

Only if you’re not
the one doing the shopping,
cleaning and baking.

Holiday spirit

Like catching snowflakes,
this melts quickly from the heat
of a stressful month.

Oh Christmas tree

We bring it home, put
it on life support so we
can hang ornaments.
