Scrooge is gone

[ElizabethB]

I was supposed to go to Mom's yesterday but had a bad stomach and didn't go. Went today - unpacking and hanging all of her ornaments - some as old as I am! Such good memories Decorated her tree and put out decorations around the house. I could see the stress leaving her. I was there from 9:30 to 6:30. My hips are killing me from all of the bending and stooping but my heart is light

I got my Christmas Groove Back

Ready to head out early tomorrow and get my shopping done.

That is my MISSION I will get it done tomorrow - no excuses

Have Christmas music playing

Have any of you ever heard Mannheim Steamroller? Their arrangement of "Silent Night" makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck The MOST amazing arrangement of that old Christmas classic that I have ever heard If you haven't heard it - treat yourself.

Merry Christmas one and all

I haven't been in the Christmas mood until yesterday. I have so much going on this year that it has been hard to focus on caring about Christmas. I'm melting!!!

Got a box all packed this AM to mail to my sister in Albuquerque NM. It has a couple little presents for her and her son and a gift basket with a tin of lavender biscotti, a canister packed full of homemade candies, a pretty decorative soap dish with a bar of homemade lavender-vanilla soap, a jar of sage-citrus hand cream, three little canisters of different herbal tea blends.

I get these little tea canisters for 65 cents:

The box will go to the P.O. today and that is my last thing to go in the mail. Now there's just a bit more wrapping (I like to take my time and turn my packages in to works of art! ) and keeping on baking and house cleaning. The first house guests arrive tomorrow!

Merry Christmas and /or Happy Holidays!!
