I have been having more fun, unfortunately not much housework is getting done! The tree is up, my collection of Santa's and snowmen are on the mantle. I found the perfect lights they are not a string but a collection of lights-they are just the touch needed to make the mantle sparkle with the snowmen. I love opening each little package and being surprised at the ornaments it holds. I love them, each one carrying memories for me. I seem to like snowmen the best, I happen to have quite a few of them. I have been busy baking and finishing up the last little details, wrapping and making tags. I still need to get a few more stocking stuffers. My goal was to make everything, but so far I have not perfected making lip balms! I love the holidays. I think though what I love the best is the excitement of finding or making the perfect gift. Sometimes it is really hard to do. More like a challenge I guess. I love the lights, the decorations, laughter and games around the table after dinner. I am so blessed to have family and friends near to make the holidays merry! I hope that you have established your own merry traditions, what ever they may be. I was talking to one friend who looks forward to take out and a movie fest! Sounds relaxing and fun to me. No matter what your situation the holidays can bring peace. The more we give and love the more we receive. I am so grateful for the blessing of home, and happiness. Grateful to create (usually a big mess) grateful for a roof over my head, food on the table, warm socks for my feet and good hot chocolate! I can't believe how cold it is out there! We may have a white Christmas this year after all.
Do you ever find yourself glued to the TV watching those sappy Christmas movies? Sometimes I catch myself and think I've got to turn this off! One of my favorite holiday movies is the Sound of Music. For some reason it always just reminds me of Christmas. It is a tradition to snuggle up and watch it. I think that is mostly what the holidays are about, traditions. Traditions we share with our families or traditions we started ourselves! That is really what the holidays are about. Traditions that make us feel merry! Well, its back to work, there is no rest for this "elf" if I am going to get my things done on time. Have a wonderful day. Stay warm!
We have shared your lives for the last eight years and have missed seeing your holiday greeting cards! We want to continue our friendship on line so please join us is posting your holiday greetings h
ere. My Wish for you, warm socks for cold feet, happy hearts and good food to eat. That the New Year will bring blessings of peace and happiness.
