Enjoying some of my favorite Christmas movie while getting ready for today’s festivities. This one makes me laugh out loud… as some have told me that I am in fact Buddy The Elf… what with my “glitter gig” Christmas decorating & subscribing to the same four food groups… candy, candy canes, candy corn & syrup. Okay, so maybe I would switch out candy corn for marshmallows?!

So what’s YOUR favorite Christmas movie???

Adding some last-minute festive touches to my Christmas treats. Not surprising… for our family gathering, I’m in charge of Jell-O & dessert. Two of my favorites!!!

Yes, I have the palate of a four-year old!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Day filled with family & friends with plenty of fun & magical moments for everyone. Be festive, be thoughtful, be safe…

Looks like another of my wheelthrown Christmas Trees has found it’s holiday home… all lit up and ready for a beautiful Christmas Eve!

You gotta love when a Christmas present arrives in the mail from a good friend out in Baltimore… and when you open it up… and you see that she knows you, oh too well!!! Thanks for the extra “sweet” & creamy-flavor-filled gift Maryann!

A couple more Christmas flashbacks… some old traditional felt decorations! Including the original handmade stocking from my childhood. Just hoping that Santa finds his way to fill it up tonight!!!

Hard to believe that I just put the last ornament on my advent calendar… handmade by my Grandma Kitty!!! Seems like just yesterday the tree was empty and I put up the first ornament. And now somehow tomorrow is Christmas… and I’ve still got a list of things to wrap, bake & pack for tomorrow! Wishing you all a “productive” Christmas Eve Day!

Today is the day to celebrate “Festivus” with all of the traditional rituals… which include an unadorned aluminum pole instead of a decorated tree, the “Airing of Grievances” which is an opportunity to tell others how they have disappointed you in the past year, followed by a Festivus dinner, and then completed by the “Feats of Strength” where the head of the household must be pinned. Sounds like fun, huh?!

All set-up for tomorrow’s big mug sale…
