Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 23rd day of December, 2016.
“1” more SLEEP till Christmas EVE.
Can you believe it?
Are you ready?
Is your heart beating a bit faster than usual?
Are you excited?
Are you nervous?
Are you sure?
I am all of those things.
I will profess I am a self-proclaimed CHRISTMAS “nut.”
I love the turkey, the baking, the Christmas pudding, the cranberries, the lights, whipped potatoes and gravy, singing of Christmas Carols, the music, the movies, the company, the, the, the ………………
I love everything about the holiday season although when it comes to gifts I have simmered down.
Mainly because I no longer have small children.
So I gift baking.
A tray of goodies here and a tray of goodies there.
Even recycling, reusing making something new for someone.
Christmas is really about sharing ….. sharing your heart with those around you.
Give from the heart and you will not be sorry.
I was able to sleep in this morning as we have a Family Christmas Party/Breakfast at the office.
Getting close to the time to leave but I still have some time.
Enough time to write, catch up on FB and share a banana with Mr. Alvin.
He loves to have some banana every morning with his Momma.
Likely more about the banana than me, but I like to think it is about me and the banana.
I noticed earlier this morning (yup Mr. Alvin wide awake earlier than normal and wanting to get up) that we have a skiff of fresh snow.
So looking forward to Christmas with my family, new and old and to time away from the office, time to charge the old battery, to visit with friends and to relax.
On this day before Christmas Eve I hope that you are enjoying this time and not stressing too much.
No matter what it will always be perfect.
Perfection can always be a bit on the less than side, after all.
Happy Thursday.
Special Hello to: my family and friends, new and old.
Always, Carol and Alvin
