I have to ask...

Today, being the Feast of St Nicholas, did you find oranges and chocolates? Did you find coal? It's a dead giveaway to whether Santa will be stopping by your place. Were you a good little girl or boy?





I've started decorating for the season and it's all Christmas at my house.





Candles in the windows is just the beginning of a ritual that extends from several days to a week. Bringing the decorations out a bit at a time gives the Grand kids an opportunity to look for something different each visit.


The older they get, the more they want to speed up the process. They even offer to help decorate the tree, NOW!





Can't blame them. I do remember how the days seemed to drag along endlessly while I eagerly awaited the arrival of the jolly gifter dressed in red. The stretch of time from December 6th til the 25th seemed interminable.


Now, it's such a brief period, I fear I won't be ready!


Growing up isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Lee, No goodies found around here! LOL, Oh Growing up and growing old, I use to get the kids to help decorate the tree, the last few years they have fussed the whole way thru, so I did it myself this year, saddens me but less stress and having to learn to change my way of thinking! Love your christmas decorations! :)
