I must confess. I've watched the Star Wars Holiday (Christmas) special. And I liked it. :D

I wonder what the hottest toy of 2016 will be. I know the Nes Mini is #1 on our Christmas list. :santagifts:

Today I am officially exhausted and achy. I need this day off for rest. I am so tired it is hard to Christmas plan. Listening to Christmas tunes and watching hiking videos should revive my soul. If not my tired body - ho ho ho.

What is your favorite Christmas carol to listen to at the end of Summer - for most of you - and the continuation of Summer for some of us? :singing:

Lesson learned: store your vintage style blown glass ornaments in acid-free paper. We opened an old box and the paint has come off onto the non-acid-free paper! Christmas sadness because these are irreplaceable large Christopher Radko ornaments. :cry:

Oh Noel. I'm so sorry. My Christmas ornaments are stored in plastic boxes with individual compartments. I would have never thought about the paper taking paint off. :holly1:

So sorry to hear this Noel. Michelle was just telling me this morning that we need to get some more Christmas ornament storage boxes.

We've started the Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas transition today.
I am so excited! Michelle and KK got all the Fall and Halloween stuff out of the attic and Michelle and I bought 5 new Christmas wreaths, and several Fall & Halloween decorating items today after church. It won't be long!
