BOXING DAY

It's Boxing Day.

So ... you may have this box.

But, you may not have me.

On second thought, you may not have this box either.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS from Zoey and Dougie Dog

ZOEY, THE ELF

 NOT on a shelf!

But she's still an elf!

And full of her self!

Cute little boots.

A jingle-bell hat.

And magically, magically

this sweet little cat ...

became Santa's elf

and so that's that!

WORDS OF THE SEASON, 5

This may seem an unusual choice for a word ~ first.

Yet, I remember a Christmas that was celebrated as the "first" with my first born child, just a

few months old (1975), she, of course, did not even understand "Christmas".  She was also

the first grandchild to arrive in our family.  Many families may be welcoming their very

own "first" this season ~ such a joy for them!

And I also remember, as I am sure many others do, the "first" Christmas (2012) that came 

when dear family members were not there.

They had left us, moved beyond this earth ~ heaven bound.  

And missing them was even more poignant during this time of year ...

here, my Mom and my Vic, once upon another Christmas.

HAPPY TUESDAY ~ I AM NOT A GRINCH!

WAITING FOR SANTA ~

I'm going to stay up all night and wait for Santa.

I'm going to stay up all night and wait . . .

I'm going to stay up . . . 

I'm going to . . .
