My "JOY" tree in the hallway.
Winter Wonderland with my snowmen on top of the TV.
My big tree in the living room.
My little tree in my 'craft room.'Are you all ready for the holiday? I have everything that I bought wrapped. I have a couple of things to pick up yet and then wrap and then I'm done. Or I'm quitting!! I'm also hoping that the weather will treat me nice so that I can get to my daughter's and son's for the holiday. I keep watching the weather channel and it keeps changing so . . . guess I'll wait and see what happens between now and Wednesday morning!
My house looks pretty good. All my decorations are up that are going to be up. We're having Christmas here in January so I'll enjoy my trees and decorations for some time. But I love Christmas so it won't be a hardship.
It's jeans week at work. Always is just before the holidays. We have an all-agency staffing on Wednesday morning. The agency is providing a breakfast buffet (we pay $5.00) and then a meeting following. I guess they aren't providing the complete meal, but the better portion of it. We have a number of awards to present and a little housekeeping to get done before the first of the year. I get my 25 year plaque. It was 25 years in September, but our October meeting was cancelled so . . . we'll try for Wednesday morning. It's at the Mid-Way here in Dubuque. It's a nice place to gather. My hopes are to be able to leave around 1:00 or 1:30 for my childrens'. I don't want to drive in the dark this time of year, especially with unpredictable weather. Getting old!!
I have a friend coming over Tuesday evening to help me pack up my gifts and get them in my car. I can pack the suitcase later in the evening and finish on Wednesday morning. I'm looking forward to spending some time with my kids. I'm especially excited to be spending some time with my granddaughter Charlotte. She's growing so fast and I want to get to know her a little better. Have a few packages for her . . . but grandmother's can do that. Spoil the kid!! I'm sure a lot of pictures will be taken.
I'll miss my sister and her family. Told them to take lots of pictures too. Jackson is such a little goer right now and so much fun to watch. I'm sure he'll enjoy the holiday very much. There's some packages under my tree for him too. My sister's birthday is in December so there's some for her too!! January 16th should be fun.
I see my Colts are still undefeated!! Go Colts! And the Saints got beat so the Colts are the team to beat. Hope they go all the way to the Super Bowl. They have been my favorite team before they left Baltimore! I'm a die hard Colt fan.
Here's Christmas wishes to all. Hope this is the best holiday ever. Take care in your travels so that you get where you want to be safely. Enjoy the times with your loved ones. Make wonderful memories and take lots of pictures.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
