		<description><![CDATA[Here we go again. The shopping is (hopefully) done, the gifts have been wrapped with TLC, the tree has been decorated and you can smell the cider on the stove. Maybe there&#8217;s even a fire crackling in the fireplace. What&#8217;s the point? Okay, you don&#8217;t have to answer that. I already know what the point [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently spent Thanksgiving in Oxnard California at the beach with a very good friend of mine, Jeff and his family.
