Christmas is here! And so is our tree. I couldn’t be more excited about it! I love having that fresh evergreen smell in the house, and this tree beautifully fills up the corner near the door of our very own house.

About the title

"...A young pastor, finding himself in charge of some very energetic children, hits upon a game called "Giants, Wizards, and Dwarfs." "You have to decide now," the pastor instructed the children, "which you are ... a giant, a wizard or a dwarf?" At that, a small girl tugging at his pants leg, asked, "But where do the mermaids stand?" The pastor tells her there are no mermaids. "Oh yes there are," she said. "I am a mermaid." {from Barbara Bush's Commencement Address at Wellesley, 1990}
