I finally got a chance to look through the Leanin Tree Christmas catalog. I love their cards. I miss the days when they would send out free cards in every catalog. :thumbs:

I need to try to finish the back to school shopping. Once that's done I'll focus on my Christmas shopping. :shop: :shop: :shop:

Sitting in the peace and quiet this morning waiting for my coffee to be done. The only thing missing is the soft glow of Christmas lights. :treewiggle:

Anyone use the lighted glass blocks to decorate? I have some that are wrapped with ribbon to look like Christmas packages. I found one on etsy that I want that has a red Cardinal on it. I'm gonna get it in honor of my Mom. :angel:

You are blessed with a great physician Christmas friend. It seems they are few and far between these days. :holly1:


Yes, in the swedish system we see a different one each time you go. Perky, the Christmas elf, saw his eye dr yesterday. The operated eye will need follow up laser surgery and he has been referred back to the eye hospital for follow up. The non operated eye is doing okay for now. I sure hope they are quick, I don't want it to interfere with either the Texas trip or the Christmas cruise. I wouldn't go to Texas without him, but I sure would hate to leave him behind on the Christmas cruise. :lol:

I unpacked the last bag, the one with our souvenirs. Now I know we don't need anything else until Christmas. :elfgrin:

Oh what a relief that must have been to find someone that caring.
He's true Christmas Elf for sure!

It's really cloudy and cool this morning. It feels just like Fall. Which of course puts me in the mood for Christmas. :leafjump:

I missed one of the new Christmas movies on Hallmark last month. I could have sworn I set the DVR also.
