Hi Everyone, thanks for stopping by!

WCW, sorry I didn't respond before this but I didn't see that you had posted. I like your activity certificate idea. I could get really creative with that!

No real news to share Punkin. I've decided not to ask my H for anything and muddle through. My kids are banding together. The older ones are grateful to me for holding it together (house and such) and told me that was Christmas present enough for them from me. The youngest, well, we'll all make sure it's special for her. They are good kids!

Mila, trying to get some baking and shopping done. I'm always checking in here, keeping up with everybody. Sometimes I don't post because I don't feel I have anything of value to add.

You know, when I was a kid we didn't have a whole lot. It sure didn't take much to please me at Christmas. When I grew up and married H, he made Christmas super special. I was spoiled rotten. You know what? I've gone back to my roots. Christmas isn't about the things anymore. One of the lessons I've learned from this is to take nothing for granted, and to cherish my blessings.

(((Hugs))) and thank you all for checking in!
