Holidays are Coming, Holidays are Coming

 

I love this years Coca Cola ad, Holiday's Are Coming video HERE

I have watched it half of a zillion times.

This is Christmas Nook 2025

there is nothing new in it this year, and has not been for about 3 years when I went from a 22 inch tree to this 18 inch. But the label above shows the nook changes its look every year. The mirrors have been there since 1991. the nook was there when we bought the house in 1989.

Christmas past and something red and almost all in the nook are from Christmas Past, Santa's are 40 years old, Charlie Brown tree is from 2020. 

Can you see the reflection in the  middle that looks like a small tree? That is my Vintage Santa on the counter across the room and this is Santa's reflection in my To DO list on the fridge and looks like a small tree. 

This is the label for Christmas Nook each year.

Just for PHUN I ask Google AI on my phone to put my Santa in an ugly Christmas Sweater. 

Hey, Hey, Hey, I got Swag, Check it Out!

Sandra Claus has Swag tooooo

Copy Cat Copy Cat

 

Ann of SnapEditScrap draws once per day in her sketch book. I pick some of them that inspire me to copy them in my style using Procreate in my iPad.

I can never let well enough alone, here is what I did next.

Way way back in the early 1990's, I was "in to" painting ceramics and I saw this 18 inch Michael the Archangel and had to have. I copied Michael.

Below is Christmas Past and Christmas 2025

It fits Past and Present, everything there is from the past, but putting all the pieces out like this is the first time

Currently Michael stands Guard over the Nativity in our home.

Happy Holiday from my precious Santa Beau, always a fond target in my playtime

The Day the Light Bulb in the Closet went out

 

I flipped the light switch to the walk in closet and it came on and poof was gone. Fretting and Fussing I said Now what do I do? 

I can't reach that bulb, I am to short by a foot or two!

I can't climb a ladder, I am not that bold,

I am really, really way to OLD.

I said to Bob, I can't stand on the top step of the ladder, I will fall over..

I dragged it out and and around Beau Rover.

The closet was dark, I could not see,

I grabbed the lantern, and laughed with glee.

The shelving was just right, I could hold on to that,

Which would steady me well and keep me from falling flat. 

I descended safely, and flip

ped the switch, 

and shouted you did it, you crazy old witch. 

Today I changed a light bulb!!
