Here the tree is finished, the presents for those here
wrapped, and checks sent to the grandkids.
Aaron has returned from Afghanistan and we will mail a little something
off to his mom. A little something else was
sent off to Lenora…who I dearly miss, and a thousand little nou-nous are
wrapped for Lessa and Zoe.
I only ate two brownies and two chocolate covered Christmas
trees at work yesterday, yet my guilt level seems semi under control. I hope all you cookie addicts and chocoholics
can join me in letting your guilt go for the next few days. Be assured, I’ll be joining Cookies
Anonymouse as soon as the holidays are over.
The house is ready for a few guests today while I remember
all those who aren’t here to join us this year like Dale and Harriette. The wassail is on to simmer and fill the
house with holiday smells. The heater is
on this one day of the year, and already I’ve pushed the hood off my head and
taken my fingerless gloves from my hands.
We wish you all a happy, warm, and safe holiday with love
from us.
- Keeping those on the east coast in my thoughts.
- Himself: Putting up with the holiday fuss with great panache.
- Herself: Fussing.
- Reading: Another Evanovitch.
- News: PAH made it through the surgery. The kids are very sad but glad they have him for a while longer.
- Fridge installed with lots of fuss. Interior shelves are smaller than the old one, but this one is vastly quieter. I'll buy two more door shelves.
- Balance: Quiet for a while.
Back at you Babe...drink some for me. I keep thinking I should have a holiday open house!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the first husband and your children's father....not easy to handle that type of news at all.
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas tree is beautiful....I hope your holiday is equally as lovely.
Love and hugs back to you too. Your home must smell delightful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree! Have a wonderful holiday. Wishing you good health and many smiles in the new year.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you later!
ReplyDeleteI wish I enjoyed Evanovitch as much as I used to. I once read her books avidly, but sadly they don't hold my interest anymore. Finished the book on hoarding and read bits to David. He has been cleaning like crazy. Yesterday, Ines found mouse droppings in the top of the stove when she cleaned it...ugh. Mice are gone, poop was old.
ReplyDeleteRe books, just started the Caro book on LBJ. Volume 4. Boy were those Kennedy boys stinkers.
Have a good holiday and enjoy all the good stuff as best you can. Hannah promised to bring cookies next Saturday. We already ate all of the cookies Julie brought.
I worked out the points for my Christmas dinner and can afford them. Love those "extra" points, don't you.
Happy Christmas. Dianne
There's a LOT of cookies and treats under our tree. Sigh... I guess we'll have to force ourselves to eat it. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a Merry Christmas, Mage and to G too!
Your tree is torally fab!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your note, Mage. Here's wishing you and G a great holiday season!
ReplyDeleteI wish you health and happiness for 2013.xox
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by, Mage. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too.
ReplyDeleteJust sitting here contemplating how wrong I might have been in predicting a mild winter... We had an inch or two of snow on Christmas Eve and then began our morning with the sounds of sleet against the windows and not near 'white out' conditions with snow! When I'm wrong; I'm wrong!! :) Blessings and Nameste, Kathy (If you're on FB, could you 'friend' me?)
