I must admit my favorite holiday is Christmas. I
decorate every room in the house. The principal
rooms; living room, dining room, TV room have the most decorations. I have
numerous boxes of decorations and seem to add a few more items each year. I
always find a place for everything. When I moved to Kansas, we downsized our home. So some stayed packed in their boxes.
There are many items I received as gifts from
relatives who have passed away. One I received from my favorite aunt a green
candy dish – when I was still in high school. Another I received from an uncle
– a homemade sled. I cherished these items and no matter the condition they will
always be on display.
My children and grandchildren live on the west
coast so I don’t get to see them for the holidays,
but I do talk to them. My most fun is
buying presents for my family, especially my grandchildren. I try to find novelty gifts. One year it was screaming
monkeys. The kids thought they were great.
The parents not so much. Still makes me laugh when I think about it.
Christmas is a time for family, friends, and
remembering the reason for the season. May each of you have a beautiful, blessed, Merry Christmas and a safe, happy New
Year.

I have witnessed Z. Minor's decorated house when she still lived in California. It was a sight to be hold! I loved the beautiful tree, the enormous village around the tree and all the other decorations. I have given her some of them. and she has given me some. I cherish those gifts and think about my friend every time I put them out. Miss you!!!
