Almost Christmas

This hangs on the spare room door

to give whoever enters a giggle.

It is not a testament to the person

who sleeps there. (wink wink)

Our Christmas plant is thriving. It has amassed a few gifts underneath. It stands unadorned but proud. Sometimes "less is more" (a quote from "Project Runway") LOL
One of Buck's business associates sends us a lovely arrangement every year. I plan to light the candles on Christmas Eve when we have the fam over for supper and gift opening. . Hurrah!
Our mantle is hung with a holly swag but the main focus is still the grandchildren on either end. Christmas Eve we will hang our stockings.
I haven't baked cookies or a gingerbread house but I am trying to be in the spirit of the season. There will be a red velvet cake on Thursday and leftovers on Friday. Buck made his pilgrimage to Springfield and visited with Grace and I spent a major part of yesterday with Mother. Lisa and Kim will be physically with us on Christmas Eve and Jennifer will be with us in our hearts. She will be sharing Christmas with her in-laws in Wyoming.

Today is December 20th ~ almost Christmas ~ almost Kim and Skoot's wedding anniversary ~ almost the end of another year ~ I guess I could say I'm almost happy.
