Household Notes December 2014
/Celebrating the season
It’s late November, evening comes much too early, and the sound of lobster boats leaving the wharves and coming home again breaks the silence, always in the dark. I love lobster, but I fret during the season for family and friends putting their lives on the line every day, especially on this shore where the season runs from the end of November to the end of May.
On these long and dreary days I am reminded of all the people and the places where turkey and all the trimmings are not part of the Christmas tradition, and would be unattainable even if the desire were there.
