Merry Christmas from Maine.
May your day be filled with love and warmth and lots of delicious food.
I’m looking forward to a long weekend of leftovers, lazy days and catching up on all the audiobooks in my queue. And the knowledge that the leg lamp will be out of the window soon. 😉
I hope you’re able to slow down and enjoy this time too.
Wishing you all the best,
~Mavis

Merry Christmas Mavis! The snow looks lovely. Here in Alabama it will be in the 70s today. We are heading to my mom’s house today for our big family Christmas. Tomorrow will be my children and grandchildren at my house. I have already declared the 26th as a day of “nothing.” . Now I’m off to make sausage-cream cheese pinwheels -my husband’s favorite Christmas treat.

Merry Christmas Mavis! I am getting my “white Christmas” fill from your beautiful snow photos up North. I’m in Southern Florida, should be in the 80’s today. I’m doing last minute baking today, some to neighbors, some for work friends at the hospital and some for us. Then tomorrow its feast day and movies.

Merry Christmas!
So our three year old grandson dropped the Fudge bomb at day care. Except he did not say Fudge. Our son admitted he learned it from good old Dad. Sound familiar?? Yes we are chuckling about it.

Merry Christmas to one and all. No likelihood of snow here in Norfolk UK although it is cold enough. I’ll enjoy yours Mavis from afar while we plan our January getaway to warmer climes for a few months 🙂

I made the Carrot Cake Jam to give to friends this year for Christmas. I have been wanting to make it for the longest time and finally got ‘er done! It is just yummy! Happy Holidays to all!

Merry Christmas! Your snow looks lovely. We’re in Downeast and got just an inch or two. Your pine wreath is spectacular!
Pat Marino says
Merry Christmas to you, Mavis, and to all your readers. It’s 30 degrees in Buffalo, NY and no snow on the ground. I actually don’t mind seeing a green Christmas because it’s safer for all the travelers. We’ll get our share of snow soon enough!
Joanna says

Hello Mavis, I’m late with my Merry Christmas wishes for you and your family, so I’ll express how happy I am for you that the leg lamp will soon be packed up for a year. It would make me chuckle to see one in someone else’s window, but I’m so glad my husband hasn’t wanted one in ours!
