Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

I Broke My Record

I left everything to the last minute yesterday which really isn't like me.  In one whirlwind shopping spree, I had all of my shopping done in 3 hours and got my hair cut.  Once home I put on Christmas music and wrapped everything until I was done.  Total time 4 hours.  This morning I realized that I has everything done and could just relax.  So, I'm squeezing in a Christmas Eve post and then I'm off to watch Christmas video's. 

Well it's finally here...

Took me awhile but I finally got moving on my Christmas activities.  Haven't even starting shopping yet but at least the tree is up and the house decorated.  After tomorrow I'm starting two weeks of holidays and I so need that time to get organized and to relax. 

 

I thought I would share with you the Murino Glass Santa ornament that I purchased in Venice this year.  Every year we had a Coca Cola Santa ornament that we got when we were kids and we'd put it on the tree.  The lights couldn't go on until Santa was there.  We seemed to have misplaced him in the many moves we've had before my parents died so spotting this little guy in Venice seemed appropriate.

 

If I don't get a chance .... Merry Christmas to all.

 

 

Where is my Christmas Spirit?

I just can't seem to get into it this year.  We've missed it the past few years because of deaths and health issues but for the life of me I just can't seem to motivate myself to decorate, shop, bake and do all the traditional Christmas activities.  Time for more motivation.

 

 



 

Now to work .... ok after my morning tea.

It's December Already

Only a few more weeks until Christmas and I'm no where near ready to even think about it.  I'm surrounded by Christmas movies, commercials, store displays and Christmas lights all around... but I can't get in the mood.  We're pulling a "Krank" Christmas this year and skipping it since we spent so much money this year and the car is on it's last legs.  Still we should plan something so it's time for some Christmas season inspiration.
