i haven't been feeling it much this season - so yesterday we had a little potluck at work & i dressed up and put on my sparkly cranberry lotion and some make up and tried to force it. seemed to help a little.
today i'm heading out to the holiday market- a bunch of craftspeople, food, music - all crammed into the fairgrounds. i can't wait to start my shopping - and better yet to get gifts that support local artists. hoping it'll really get me in the mood! |

For me, I love having our christmas tree go limp in the heat, cooking the ham and having to wait for it to finish outside otherwise we would all roast! Going for an xmas swim. ALL the food :drool: The christmas carols, getting the presents ready under the tree. Making my own cards :D

oh man market was just what i need. so many great stocking stuffers for the boy and had a great time, good music, good food. i'm thoroughly holiday cheered!!

My hubby is the hardest person to buy for. Several years back, we were watching the Food Network. There is a chocolate plant somewhere up north that sells 5 pound bars of chocolate with whole almonds. He said, "I could eat that!" So I got him one! It ended up costing a fortune, but it was so worth the look on his face when he opened it! :lol:

Angie I and finished our decorations for Christmas inside and out today. We downsized a bit from the past, I think I mentioned we weren't putting up our artificial tree this year and we donated the real one we bought to a Marine family...we did get a small fake one from Home Depot the other day.
Here are some from the inside of the house ~ |
