What, Christmas is over? Its not over...it goes on and on, only the present giving is suspended...until the morning of the After Christmas Sales!
I got lots of gift cards, so tomorrow is shop and save day, as I plan to get up and hit the stores early . I got some nice bath gel and spray, the blue outfit in the picture (I actually like green or purple better, but this is what I got..) some books, a calendar of stupid sayings for my desk, a Scottish terrier calendar for the kitchen, a new pocketbook, and a lot of stuff, but ...the celebration was tempered by missing my dog, who used to wander around the family room checking out everyones gifts, before settling on her bed and watching; of missing our daughter, who is spending the week with her in laws, because her husband wants to spend more time with his folks. They are in snow country, while we are having a sunny day here...
Our Christmas was just us and our new puppy, our cats and a few phone calls from relatives, like my mom...still, I treasure Christmas, hope yours was Wonderful!!!
(Note: I know that Christmas is the symbolic date of Christ's birth, and the celebration we observe today is a amalgam of Christian and non-Christian beliefs...please don't lecture me on what Christmas means. Superficially it means buying gifts for friends and family, but the true meaning is in giving of ourselves to each other the rest of the year...Love your neighbor as you love yourself...say, did I ever mention i was a minister in the Universal Life Church??)
