You are so right, for so many years Christmas at my house was a frenzy, great at the time, but now, I am ready to bring it down a bit, getting older and getting tired. The love shines through no matter what, I am fine with passing the baton.
Holy shit! Tornados in Wisconsin? I don't think I have ever heard of that in your state.
Stay safe my friend, I will be watching the weather for sure.
