Ron and I are reflecting on a year almost past. On this, his first Christmas Eve, Frankie - our pet fish, personal secretary, and chauffeur - is doing the same. Frankie battled the holiday crowds to buy us a gift …
He also plans to cook the Christmas turkey all by himself. How will he baste it, one child asked? With difficulty, I said.

| Who says fish aren’t intelligent? Frankie’s favorite look-out is the small Christmas wreath we recently hung at the edge of his bowl. He spends literally hours there each day. |
This holiday season, offer the gifts of friendship, time, trust, commitment, kindness, visible appreciation, gratitude, and humor, and you will receive them in return. If you’re feeling a little blue over the holidays, buy yourself a fish! Or get a little silly and bring others joy!
Wrapping gifts can be tedious - and sometimes frustrating:
