Week 40: The Joy of Christmas

Debby

Family is the joy of Christmas as is giving and sharing. Crocheted gifts for charity, food items for the food bank and letters to soldiers overseas. Time spent with old friends. All of that is my joy.

Carol

The grandbaby asked for three things from Santa: an Elsa doll, cookies, and books. Needless to say, her wishes came true. There was a lot of joy to be had on Christmas morning but I think this smile says it all.

Week 39: Merry and Bright

Debby

Out for lunch with “My Girls”. Makes me think of the movie White Christmas. Remember that song and dance routine......Sisters, sisters?

This is what is merry and bright for me this week and always.

Carol

Between family feuds and a very sick senior cat, the “Merry” has been sucked right out of the holiday for me, but at least I can show you my Christmas tree to make things a little brighter.

Yes, that is a hat on the top of it. The granddaughter insisted. And one should never argue with a three-year-old (almost four!) at Christmas!

Week 38: Comfy Clothes

Debby

I absolutely love my old denim jacket. I always thought of it as a “dressier” style of denim because of the styling. It has zipper accents at the wrist and zipper pockets on the front.

I have worn this jacket for years, even in winter in lieu of a winter coat.

I knew it was getting frayed at the cuffs and the denim was faded but I had not realized exactly how worn it was until the other day.

The one shoulder is worn almost white from the ongoing friction of carrying a purse with a shoulder strap. Not something that is noticeable when hanging on a hook at the door. Maybe if I ever hung it on a hanger I might have seen it sooner.

I think the time has come for me to buy a proper winter coat. And I might just look at the denim while I’m at it.

Carol

Comfy is an oversized shirt and leggings. And as you can see, I really like being comfy. LOL

Yes, there are a lot of plaid shirts in that closet, although not all of them are oversized. A lot of them are flannel though, which is the ultimate in comfy-ness.

Week 37: Deck the Halls…

Debby

I don’t do any decorating for the holidays so I love to see the stores all bright and full of cheer.

Found this little fellow and couldn’t resist. A Canadian moose in his best dressed Christmas finery.

Carol

To be honest, when I came up with the idea for “deck the halls” I had the idea of going to a store and taking a picture of some of their “boughs of holly”. Unfortunately, nobody had any. LOL

So instead here’s a picture of the wreath I got for our front door.
