Merry Christmas Saturday! Had a great day going to the outdoor museum for the Lucia celebrations today. They have a new program in a new restaurant on the grounds. It sort of looks like an old lodge and we were served rice pudding (Swedish thing), an open faced sandwich (also Swedish thing), coffee and water. It was much more than the "snack" I was expecting.

Just a busy night/day at home. No sleep last night as a kiddo was feeling ill. I did doze off in my chair after a warm bowl of nut/fruit Oatmeal.

Looking for my boots I found a brand new pair of black Mary Jane shoes I bought at clearance last January. So for church/lunch tomorrow I have my black sparkle hem slacks; my red "JOY" tee; and my gifts vest. Of course my tiny hoop earrings with gift charms complete my Christmas ensemble. Oh and looking for my winter black purse I found my snake print bag. It still has Kleenex & Riccola cough drops in it from last winter. :D

We got home really late last night so we slept in this morning. :sleephat: That worked out perfect since it's rained all day long. Thankful for Christmas lights that really brighten up dreary days. :lights: :treewiggle:

We turn the lights in the morning til the sun shines & back on again at sunset. That and lighted wreaths...garlands...candles fill the house with a beautiful f up glow. It is my favorite look for the house all year. Time for cookies & Christmas movies. :rabstar:

Hello my friends. It sounds like everyone has been enjoying their Christmas season this weekend. Michelle and I were in Atlanta for my oldest's son's graduation from Georgia Tech. So proud of him. He graduated with highest honors and now will be moving to Indiana to work for Toyota as an engineer. Sure am going to miss him.

Tonight, Michelle and I watched "White Christmas" and Michael Buble's Christmas special (DVR). That Tori Kelly sure can sing!

Wow that's some Christmas accomplishment for your son. Highest honors is something to be very proud of indeed. Oh he's gonna love Indiana & you'll have a new reason to go home again. :blinky1: :rabstar:

Wow! Congratulations on the graduation and the job for your son! Two great Christmas presents. I only have 4 days to work this week, but they are going to be busy ones. So looking forward to sleeping in on Friday and maybe watching a Christmas movie or two. :sleephat:

Some Monday Morning Christmas fun. I would have loved to have had this broadcast on tv with the same enthusiasm as the Stockholm Marathon.
