The Cold Majors

Hello Democrats! Thanksgiving is the start of the ‘cold’ majors. That’s what nurses called Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years holidays. Everyone had to be on an annual rotation to get those big ones off duty– you never got more than one each year. The cafeteria would always serve traditional holiday foods, and usually we didn’t have to pay for those meals. We hated being away from our families, but working together on those emotional holidays gave us another type of family to cherish. I hope you all have good memories of your Thanksgiving day this year.

I know it is time to think fondly about turning inward, toward hibernation, but we must resist that temptation and keep our eyes open and our energy high. Time is marching on. Focus a part of your mind on the year that is fast approaching – it is going to be a doozy. Just keeping track of redistricting is a doozy. There was a statehouse rally yesterday and another scheduled for next Monday. We can’t stop fighting.

The monthly meeting next week will be short, but I will have a few things on a quick agenda to announce and we’ll approve Novembers’ minutes. The gift exchange will bring a lot of laughs and we’ll have goodies to eat! We will not broadcast over Zoom for this celebration.
