Christmas Eve



One of the reasons son Michael cannot make it over the Sierra mountains.    "The Snow is Delightful" or so the song says but I am not sure how everyone is liking the twenty inches of snow and one hundred mile an hour winds.   Think of the drifts and all the shoveling that has to be done.   Think of how beautiful it is to look at.   Think how lucky they all are to have a White Christmas and know the skiers are very happy.    



Looks like cones on the tree.   Just pretty to look at and enjoy.



This picture reminded me of Emma.   She is just like that.   She never met a stranger, makes a terrible guard dog, but is in line for the most loving dog ever born.   She wants to be a lap dog.   She wants to let you know she appreciates you . . . and she does even without mistletoe.

So today, a busy day as you get to your last minute chores.    Some of you will open your gifts tonight and others will wait until the morning.  We are morning people.  So get yourself up, get dressed, have breakfast and finish all the necessary chores to be ready for this very special Christmas.  Just have a be good to yourself day and know you did choose the right gift for that special person.     Don't forget to gift the food bank, the kettle, thank the bell ringers for helping out, oh and the candle, it should stay lit for all our service men and women, and another for the souls that have gone before us.   Never ending chores that make our holidays special and YOU make it so.     Thanks for your friendship, for taking time out to read my blog, for your prayers and thoughts and for all the hugs and smiles.    I couldn't receive a nicer gift.   Hugs to all.
