Oh, but I am jealous of all the time you have to catch up on those great Christmas movies! It's not Christmas, but I did finally watch Pumpkin Pie Wars Sunday night. It was too Christmas cute.

We're gearing up for another 70 degree day. It's a very rare day in January when I can open all my windows and doors and soak up the fresh air and sunshine. I have definitely had the post Christmas, Wintertime blahs so the sunshine is a very welcome sight. :D

Enjoy your post Christmas snow. It's getting really dry here. We need a good snow or soaking rain soon. :holly1:

I bought Fannie Flagg's The Whole Towns Talking book as a Christmas gift for myself and I just finished it. I just love the characters in Elmwood Springs. :scene:

Virus? Christmas prayers. :angelpray: It's unreal how much sickness is going around here. We have flu, strep, mono, plus other viruses going around. It's crazy.

Take time for yourself and disconnect from work, stress, the news, etc. Find the things, like Christmas, that make you happy and immerse yourself in them for a while. Take a mental vacation!



Kiwi, that is very sound advice/encouragement for all of us Christmas elves! Thanks. :D
