Three Beautiful Things 12-22-2025: License Plates Off to Virginia, Classical Holiday Music, Great Nuts and Bolts and Cookies

1. Going to the post office isn't that big of a deal usually but today was a little different. I mailed Debbie her license plates, license plates she's been trying to get her hands on since August. If all goes well, they'll arrive in Virginia on Saturday. I really hope all goes well. That would be a splendid turnaround in this mystifying saga that would make the head of Gilgamesh spin. 

2. The two classical music stations I listen to day and night are increasing the amount of holiday music they play which means I'm hearing Christmas symphonies, excerpts from The Messiah, choirs singing gorgeous arrangements of hymns and carols, thrilling brass ensembles, and other selections taking me beyond what I ever knew was out there. 

3. With the arrival today of a package from Jack and Eloise, now I have two different batches of nuts and bolts to snack on (Carol made the other one) and a couple of very tasty cookies. I love cookies and normally I try to keep myself from eating too many, but over the last couple of days, I've unlocked the stable and let the horses of my cookie eating appetite run a bit wild.
