A Christmas re-cap. Because I know You want to see.

It all started with Christmas dinner. Then let's get on with the important stuff.

And then every one opening gifts from name drawing. Gifts included everything  from guns to jewelry.

Monday Monday

Rest and relaxation comes after Christmas Day.  Don't have to cook today because there are leftovers from Christmas Day.  I stare at the Christmas tree, the Christmas wreath, the Christmas decorations wanting to clear everything out today. But I'll do it tomorrow.  Enjoying looking at my Christmas pictures taken on Christmas Day.

It has rained for 2 days and nights. New pj's are really getting a work out!! Thank you!


Entertaining myself by blog surfing and see what y'all  and y'all are up to. It's like reading a good book.

Let's get the New Year on!

Reason

It's close. 9 days to go until the family crowds, the oohing and ahhing over gifts, the non-stop foods, the tree skirt in full view from an empty floor under the tree. These are the reasons for all the hustle and bustle.

And, Christmas tree cookies of which I have eaten dozens and dozens of in the last week and have literally made people eat them with me and even insisted they take some home.


 
The fun of wrapping papers spread out all over the floor to wrap those special choosen gifts for those special people to place under the tree for the big day.

The Christmas book that we  read every year on Christmas Day before we open the gifts. Because, after all,  it's HIS birthday.


And, it's the reason for the season, for the spirit, for the giving that we can celebrate, rejoice, worship, and praise The Newborn King.
