Ready to see white sand. For a minute I can pretend it's Christmas snow. :snowwow:

"White Christmas"

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white



We haven't had a White Christmas in a few years. Hopefully we will this year. :snowwow:

Once in a while I'll find a Christmas item mixed in with some clearance items. But I can't wait for the new stuff to hit the stores. :smilecc:

I repotted my big Christmas cactus today. I can't wait until it's back in bloom again. :holly1:

My First Christmas Sighting of 2017!
Michelle and I went to Hobby Lobby as planned this afternoon and up on the top shelves where you can't reach, there were all sorts of Christmas items. Potpourri, Pine Cones, Wreath Door Hangers, Ribbons, Large Red Bows, and more. I was a little excited to say the least.
