Here are a few of my favorite things from this xmas! The lovely calender and (liquer) chocolates that my daughter sent us this year. One of our bestest gifts. A spring green cardigan from Len's daughter. I do not have a nice sweater and it seems funny that I sent her a khaki green cardigan for xmas also. Great minds think alike.


My little wooden xmas tree that saves us in a pinch every year.

The last year or two we have only put this one up and saved the muss and bother of going out on the great xmas tree hunt!

I painted and put it together about five years ago and if it isn't our main tree it does light up our front hallway. The polar bear was a new addition to my collection (I love polar bears) and came with a new polar bear calender.




There were lots of neat little things that we received or gave each other but the best gift of all was the day spent home and then out for xmas dinner with our friends.

Work was very hectic right to the last minute of xmas eve day and then boxing day was the usual feeding frenzy. I just don't understand why people feel they need to shop till they drop. None of the bargains are worth it anyway. Just more junk to fill up the empty places with. I wish I could afford to take those days off from work but just don't feel I could dump that on my staff. So work we did and survived the mayhem.

I hope all had a lovely, peaceful xmas with their families and wish health, peace and good fortune to all for the new year.

Love to all
