Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We had our 7 fishes dinner last night and then it started to snow! It was a perfect Christmas eve. Very cold this morning at 12 degrees

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I wish the best to all of you in the coming new year!!

Seven fishes sounds yum Renee. We're having lobster tails today.

Some of those quotes gave me a chuckle Corinna. I think Gleason's is very fitting for me. Dolly Parton's made me giggle too. She's so sweet.

Talk soon.

You're doing wonderful Darius

Darius-your still losing!!! Even during the holiday season. Your doing great. Keep it up and you will meet your February goal.

Renee-your Christmas Eve turned out nice! I'm happy for you. Stay warm.

Lizzie-thanks, hope you have a wonderful New Year too. Glad to see you're still around.

Our Christmas day was nice. We decided to wait until 8PM that night to open presents. Made the day last longer. I think we will do it again that way next year. It helped alleviate some of the after Christmas sadness that comes from waiting for the day to arrive, and then it is all over so fast.

Here are some pictures I wanted to share to make you smile.

Just a few more I wanted to share with you.

I like the food pyramid and pizza slice "Close Enough."
Thank you very much Renee and Corinna for your support.

My favorite is "Don't step on it, it makes you cry". My goal for the New Year is that if it makes me cry, it will be with happiness rather than being sad.

Great list, Corinna, though there are a few I would find difficult to do. 12, 39 and 40 would be hard for me. Some I already do and the rest are doable. I'm going to print out the list and refer to it often...........

Renee-I don't like going barefoot because my feet are very sensitive and tender. However, a nice clean sandy beach I like walking barefoot on. If there are rocks, too many shells, slime, seaweed, etc then forget it. Thank goodness there are shoes now made for water wear.

Meditate-I don't meditate, but I do pray daily.

Raw veganism. It's good if your body can handle it. Not mine. I have to have some cooked food every so often too.
