Christmas carols

I have had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit, but the night before yesterday I started trying to write The Twelve Days of Christmas in little icons on my phone and yesterday morning my friend Teamaker showed up unexpectedly bearing gifts.

Probably the best one was her hug. Bearnard is good to sleep with, but he's not much for giving back bear hugs. Teamaker also made me an ornament called a German bell! It's an elegant three dimensional beauty and the thought that she made it for me, makes it truly special. I'll hear the bells on Christmas day.

I turned on Alabama's graduation and watched Bestest walk in all his finest regalia while I decorated my little tree. Then, just as I finished, I found out my grandchildren got to go see The Nutcracker.

Christmas cards here are hanging with glee and sugar plum dreams are coming to be . . . Christmas is coming and I am getting fat . . . Have yourself a merry little Christmas!
