I think I am over it !

We are suppose to warm up to the 60's this afternoon,so I think I am finally ready to take down my Christmas tree and put up all my decorations. We have had the longest cold spell, here in N. Florida, in 25 years. I think that is why I could not take the tree down sooner,but if we get back to the 60's, I think its time and I can get on with the New Year!

I'm not ready for it to be over ! ! !

Well it is now the 9th of January and for some reason I just do not want to take my Christmas tree down. I know its time and I really should, but I am just not tired of looking at it yet,maybe I should find a smaller tree that I can keep up all year. I love white lights on a tree,so maybe I will do that and decorate it with each season.
It may be the Christmas spirit that i want to hang on to,you know that happy feeling and goodwill that seems to be so plentiful this time of year!

A Wonderful Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with the children and grandchildren and Christmas Day with twin brothers and today visiting friends and a little shopping. It was all very nice and now we have a New wonderful year to look forward to. So much to be thankful for.

It's almost Christmas ! ! !

It is 28 degrees at my house this morning in north Fl.now if only we could have a little snow it would be perfect Christmas weather,not the nasty blizzards that our northern friends are having,but just a dusting.I love Christmas first of all because it is the birthday of Jesus but also the decorating, baking,music,lights,wonderful Christmas movies old and new and everyone seems to be happier and nicer this time of year,smiling and saying Merry Christmas to strangers and helping those less fortunate,I wish it could be Christmas time all year!Merry Christmas! ! !

Thanksgiving at my house

Especially for you Dee and Pearl ! ! !
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here with family and friends,the weather was perfect sunny and about 60 degrees.After stuffing ourselves with Turkey and all the trimmings,we sat outside and watched the children play in the backyard,later I had a nap on the sofa and my favorite sandwich ,turkey with cranberry sauce.
