The blogosphere has been quiet this week. Blogs have observed moments of silence and the tragedy in Sandy Hook is all anyone can write about. Cooking blogs, decorating blogs, mommy blogs, children’s lit blogs. They are all filled with thoughts, prayers and memories. It is hard for me to transition from it. I sat down to write a review of a book and couldn’t. I began to write about a great new game we have discovered and couldn’t. It all seems quite trivial.

Perhaps this picture of Christmas magic will serve as a transition…
