SANTA CLAUS COMES TONIGHT !!!!

December 24, 2014

Good morning.  My goodness, it's already Christmas Eve Day.  The excitement is mounting here at my house.  The dwarfs are keeping an eye on their Christmas tree to see if anything has been put under it, and who it might be for.  Yeah, I know, we're all adults but Christmas brings out the child in all of us. 

My little tree is surrounded by so many presents that there is no room for any more.   Last evening, I sent my daughter Audrey a text message to let her know that it was "National Take A Peek At A Present" night, and I got an immediate phone call.  "Mom, I knew you couldn't hold out!" 

 Of course, I was only joking, but I was in a mischievous mood and wanted to have some fun.  (Some days I can be so bad!)  Here's a photo of my little tree surrounded by all sorts of goodies.  There are a couple more gifts, but they are big and are on the floor.

Daughter Audrey said that I could open the four gifts (in the front) that are wrapped in bubble wrap, but I told her I would wait till tomorrow.  They are four jars of home made jelly, cranberry sauce. apple butter and cranapple butter.  Oh yum!  I can't wait to taste the grape jelly because I know she squished the all the grapes herself.   Oh dear, she did squish them with her hands, right?  Audrey, tell me you didn't dance all over the grapes with your bare feet!!!

I've received a lot of beautiful and fun Christmas cards, but I got one yesterday that I just have to share with you.  It's from daughter Deanne and family, and you know she picked this one out special for me and Pogo.

 

No, it's not my Pogo, but he sure is handsome!!  Would you believe I still haven't decided what to cook for Pogo and me for tomorrow's dinner?   This morning I have to make a quick run to the supermarket, and I'm hoping to get some ideas there. 

The rest of the day will be spent making room for Pogo's big present from Santa and tidying up a bit.  Then, of course, I need to do a bit of negotiating with the dust bunnies.  It wouldn't be nice to move them out until after Christmas and New Years Day.  However, I'm hoping they will agree to move to a different corner.  Hmmm, I wonder.  What does Santa Claus bring to a dust bunny?

My grandson Kevin has not been feeling so good these past few days.  He is having respiratory problems and is warding off pneumonia.  I'm praying this will clear up quickly, and he will be feeling fit soon.  Kevin, be well soon.  I love you.

Well, that's about it for this morning.  I'm going to do a bit of blog reading while I drink my coffee.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all have a wonderful day, and I hope Santa Claus brings you something nice.

Hugs, Edna B.
