25th Day of Christmas - It's Finally Here!

What's your favorite Christmas memory? I'm going to cut this one short and refer you to this previous blog entry.

Thank you all for putting up with me during this kind of unusual blog posting event. I don't think I've shared a single piece of art in the past 25 days, (and you came anyway). And even though it's over, I would still love to hear from you. Please feel free to use the comment section below.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Happy Creating.

24th Day of Christmas - This One's About Santa

Do you leave cookies and milk for Santa? Not anymore. With a 17 year old and an almost 21 year old, cookies would never make it until Santa arrived. Did we used to leave them? Darned tootin'. I even had a special plate and cup just for the jolly ole' guy. Wonder whatever happened to that old thing.

If you leave cookies out for Santa, I hear he is especially fond of peanut butter oatmeal. He says that he rarely gets that kind. I also hear that he's become a little lactose intolerant and he prefers rice milk. Can you give the guy a hand? Let me know your plans below.

Merry Christmas and thanks for stopping by.

23rd Day of Christmas - Pass the Cookies

Easiest question I've had so far, Do you bake cookies? No, no, no. I do not bake cookies. I am the worst cookie baker in the world. I am blessed however to have a husband and two daughters who bake cookies. I'm hoping to smell some wonderfulness coming from my kitchen later on today.

Do you bake cookies? You're gonna let me know aren't you? I would love to hear? 

Only two more days to go. 

Thanks for stopping by.

22nd Day of Christmas - It's all about What We Must Do

Today's question, "What's the most important thing that you must do each Christmas season"?, really threw me. I couldn't think of a thing. Decorate? I love the decorations and especially the tree but "must" I do it? No. Even baking, shopping, even attending church are not must dos for me. I just kept coming up empty handed, (or should I say, empty headed). 

Finally, I asked my daughters and without hesitation, they both said, "spend time with your family" They are right. I would be miserable without spending time with my family over the holidays.

What's your, "so important, you must do", thing for the holidays? You know I would love to know. Comments make me so.......... happy. Please feel free to share below.

21st Day of Christmas - Family Get-togethers

We spend time with extended family each Christmas. This year it will be my sister, her daughter, my mother and her husband. This holiday is all about family but as we get older and move in different directions it's increasingly difficult to get together with extended family. Some of my family is close but my husbands family is very far away. I would just about give my eye teeth to spend a Christmas with them.

How are your Christmas' spent? Do you travel to be with family, stay home and invite them to come to your home, or are your Christmas' spent with your immediate family. You know I would love to know. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Creating.
