I'm a Christmas fanatic. Yes, I'm one of "those" people who starts shopping for the next year on Dec. 26, sends hundreds of cards, writes the dreaded Christmas letter and decorates everything that doesn't move - and some things that do - in my house. I offer this disclosure in case anyone calls my motives into question.

These photos are from the Hutchinson Theatre Guild's Christmas Songbook  show.

I went to a restaurant here in town and had some potato soup.  It was just ok. You could tell it came out of a package.  Eating that soup really made me crave the real deal.  So I went to the store and picked up a few ingredients and last night I came up with the most delicious potato soup I had ever eaten.  It was awesome.
