I love snow when I don't have to drive anywhere. I send cards snail mail. My Nativity Scene is special. Yours sounds wonderful.<BR/>BarbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388558870650514383.post-65157651963092940952008-12-19T13:15:00.000-06:002008-12-19T13:15:00.000-06:00I hope you have a wonderful time with your tree an...I hope you have a wonderful time with your tree and Miss Josephine. I love that you found the spirit "right behind Josephine's left ear!" That's perfect and I know exactly what you mean!<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see your nativity set!

I'd be falling all over the place.<BR/><BR/>Hi Renee, I always send cards because it's more personal. <BR/><BR/>As far as trees, we used to buy fresh scotch pines but now we have had an artificial one for the past 5 years and hey, it works great. I just buy some pine smelling stuff and we're good to go.<BR/><BR/>Snow I love it but am afraid to walk in it as well. I get this feeling that I am going to fall and break my leg.<BR/><BR/>I prefer giving and it really doesn't matter if I get anything. Just spending time with family is enough.<BR/><BR/>Great thoughts and have a great day as well Renee.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388558870650514383.post-13637212969567633182008-12-19T09:22:00.000-06:002008-12-19T09:22:00.000-06:00Real tree--even though every year I "try" to convi...Real tree--even though every year I "try" to convince Gary to go with the artificial, and he says "as long as the kids are at home" ( like they are ever going to leave and like they give a rats ass about what kind of tree)I guess I really don't want one because once the lights are on it and the sap is scrubbed off my fingers there is nothing mo<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>re beautiful. When our sons were small we always "camped" one night with the tree on all night. I still do it..but I sleep on the couch.<BR/>Cards..one of the best parts about the season is getting cards and updates on friends from years gone by who always send a letter too...it's even ok if it is one of those "newsletter" things!<BR/>Snow..love to hear it crunch under my feet when it is really cold outside so this year I have gotten to hear that sound ALOT.<BR/>Fun fun with Josephine and the tree...be sure to sing "O Christmas Tree" with her. Enjoy..enjoy!<BR/>ps wrapped all the gifts last night after I talked to you...marathon, but I am always struck by how lucky we are to be able to fill under the tree with stuff for the ones we love.<BR/><BR/>As for crafting..the ice candles smashed as I tried to get them out of the molds....so much for the Martha Stewart part of me!!!! <BR/><BR/><BR/>FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388558870650514383.post-72283982636899941752008-12-19T01:52:00.000-06:002008-12-19T01:52:00.000-06:00Well, here it is almost 2am.

Hopefully, tomorrow..er..later today....we put up the decorations.<BR/><BR/>Christmas cards...I LOVE to send them! And I too have culled my list this year.<BR/><BR/>Give or receive....I actually derive more pleasure from giving.<BR/><BR/>Snow...I love it! But we don't get any here.<BR/><BR/>I much prefer real trees, but I like putting up the tree early. Didn't happen this year, but that was the plan.<BR/>Best get some sleep now. Good night!YayaOrchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903215880257353340noreply@blogger.com
