As reported earlier this year has flown by!
Our life this year has been a real “As the World Turns”, full of those at the end of each show moments that leave you thinking “what next!” Thanksgiving was upon us and flew by (turkey’s do fly ya’ know) and Christmas (which had started waaaay before Thanksgiving) seemed to be on us like a summer storm, full of flashing lights and loud noises.
Finally the decorations were up (inside and out)...all 90+Santa’s holding court on their appointed shelves, mantel, and display cabinet. The presents were wrapped and looking royal as they were artfully arrayed around the Christmas tree (Mrs. Clause is really creative).
Finally Christmas Eve was here... We all attended Christmas Eve service and grandpa “gifted” everyone to supper at Carrabbas, (wasn’t that nice of me?)....no one ever reaches for the check?? On Christmas day we opened presents, Bobbie fixed a great brunch (ham with a marmalade crust, cheese grits, egg casserole, orange flavored French toast and onnnnn and on!), and watched movies, Schreck (I may have dozed off a few times...I tried to just “sample” her offerings...really).
THEN we had the desserts, yes desserts, three of them, varied and decorated like Christmas presents!
Well that was last week.
Santa the reindeer were last seen heading north...we, on the other hand, have finished cleaning up after the reindeer (present droppings you know) and are enjoying the "afterglow" of the memories.
The lights are still up, however, everyone’s stocking are no longer crowed across the mantel, so we can have a fire in the fire place again, and it crackles merrily as we contentedly watch movies we’ve been meaning to watch for months.
So...”Ho Ho Ho... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all.”
