<p>photo of top of cupboard I have a Chrismas mug collection. </p>

<p>Most of these mugs have been given to me over the years.  During my teaching days, I would receive at least one a year.   I kept them all until they threatened to take over more than a shelf in my cupboard.  I then had to (gasp!) dispose of the ones that I wasn't crazy about. </p>

<p>Somehow, adding the holiday mug to my morning latte ritual adds a touch of festivity to my day. </p>

<p>It wasn't until the morning of Day 65 that I remembered the mugs!  How magical is that?!  It's Monday morning, I had forgotten all about the mugs (I've told you before that my memory or lack thereof scares me), and I happen to catch a glimpse at the top of my cupboard. </p>

<p>It's always a downer returning to work on the Monday after a long holiday weekend.  Until you stop and smell the coffee from a mug of holiday cheer. </p>
