One Week Left!

Hello my friends! How are you holding up?  Do you realize there is one week left till Christmas??  Hopefully everyone is chill and ready and not stressed.  We are about half way through our shopping, sigh.  But I'm not worried because our kids are all adult and if we don't get it in time, we'll just get it after.  Most of them haven't even told me what they wanted yet... sigh.  Really???  We already took care of grandkids, so like I say, the stress is off.  Our last major party was last night (well, parties before Christmas - we have one after) and so now it's just enjoy the season and finish the shopping whenever we can squeeze it in.

How about you??  Hopefully you are able to relax and enjoy family and friends and doing things for others, sing carols and watch your favorite Christmas movie.  We watched The Man Who Invented Christmas last week, and it is soooo good.  It's now one of my favorites. 

We made candy on Sunday and the caramel didn't turn out quite as well as I'd hoped, but it still tastes good.  😊  If you need a candy fix, come visit!!!

I have to say, today has a singularly lack of exciting things to celebrate.  There's only 1 thing worth mentioning...  It's Answer the Phone like Buddy the Elf.  I was like what???  So I watched the clip and yes, it's worth a laugh.  I wasn't a big fan of the movie, but there were scenes that were fun.  What's your favorite movie?

I'm finding that as I get older I'm not as much a fan of the commercialized side of the season.  There's more of the meaning in Christmas than Holiday.  So, I don't enjoy the old movies that I used to.  I really like It's a Wonderful Life, and A Christmas Carol (especially with George C Scott), The Muppet Christmas Carol and Last Holiday.

The other thing I thought you'd get a laugh out of is for a food holiday...it's National Roast Suckling Pig day.  For those of us who routinely roast a pig...there ya go!  lol  NOT!  I think that's more of a Polynesian thing now.  They stick a whole pig in a pit and roast it all day...YUM!  But - since most of us don't have a fire pit with a big enough spit for a pig, we're stuck with just enjoying whatever else we love.

Whatever helps you enjoy the season, hope you are able to do it.  Have a great day!

Someone shared this on Facebook recently, and it was so much fun I thought I'd leave you with it...go have a pillow fight!!
