nehalenia, I got your beautiful card today. Thank you so much!
A box of goodies from mrs_sweetpeach arrived today, including a hand drawn card, beautiful soaps that smell *so* good(including a lump of coal soap - - J had a comment about that), a lovely jewelry pouch she made(filled with gingerbread ornaments and chocolate), and my traditional and very welcome caramel wafers.
And since I opened that, I broke down and opened my gift from luvmax1. Thank you! I love my adorable owl, and the bath stuff smells so good!
Despite having my annual Christmas cold - - Elizabeth gave it to me Sunday - - I'm feeling good, watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas(the Boris Karloff version, of course). "Little Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two" - - aww!
My Christmas spirit is returning. I was a little stressed out, trying to get all my gifts done on time. We wet Christmas shopping today. And as I told J, nothing dampens my Christmas spirit like shopping the week before Christmas. The stores were way crowded, people were rude, long lines at the checkout. Then on the way home, I checked the mail and there was a lovely Christmas card from lorelei633, which cheered me up considerably. Later, we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas - - the *real* Boris Karloff version, and that cheered me up even more. I just did some work on my brother's scrapbook - - it should be done in time to get it in the mail by Tuesday. I need to wrap presents, which some people hate, but I love.
And this is the perfect occasion to use my Cindy Lou Who icon, courtesy of betagoddess.
