Christmas 2016

[Jolly O'Leary]

We just finished watching Holiday Inn and White Christmas! Older holiday films are some of my favorites so I bought Amazon streaming copies so I can watch them on my schedule.

I have both of those Christmas films on DVD. I still love my DVD's. Streaming is nice, but I don't feel like I "own" something unless I can hold it in my hands and watch it with only electricity needed. I was away at a work conference yesterday and though we had wifi, I did not check any personal email or facebook. I found I liked it. My world has gotten too busy...........I need to unplug and enjoy Christmas a bit more.

Santa brought me my Christmas present early. A new iPhone. It's nice to be back among the calling and texting again.

We had snow flurries yesterday. It was so beautiful. 20 degree temps and falling snow really recharged my Christmas Spirit.

I am excited because tomorrow I work on one of my favorite Christmas traditions: making the gingerbread house!

Do you make yours from scratch? I haven't made one in a few years but I found a really cute kit yesterday. I'm gonna buy it and it'll be perfect for family time. I know a family who's had a pretty rough year and their rough patch has carried over to Christmas. I think I'll buy them a gingerbread house kit too. The family time and Christmas cheer might help ease their burden.

Christmas Crazy hope you are doing good with your recovery.

I didn't get any Christmas cards in the mail yesterday but I did get my favorite seed catalog. That's almost as good.

Whatever relaxes us at Christmas is a good thing. I have the devs too but when traveling that is not helpful. What a blessing that we have so many choices available.

Give Santa a big kiss! We need our CandyKane elf.

How did your gingerbread home turn out Kiwi? They are such Christmas fun.

Last night the day was ended with a viewing of the original black-and-white Miracle on 34th Street. The Christmas tree, wreaths, garlands, and figures all softly glowing with lights. It was so peaceful and beautiful. That deep joyful Christmas rest.
