I hope everyone has a wonderful New Years Eve
and will have a lovely New Years Day.
I’m trying to follow some of the New Years Eve traditions.
My southern friend says it’s bad luck to ring in the New Year

Ornaments
.

I think people see things in us, that we

I love being gifted with ornaments. When I open

elves lurking through windows. Trust me that’s how it really works.
And what a [...]

I’m going in all different directions

Well way up north where the air gets cold
There’s a tale about Christmas
That you’ve all been told
And a real famous cat

All he spends all year working out on
his sled.
It’s the Little St. Nick
the Little St. Nick
It’s the Little St. Nick

Just a little bobsled called the [...]

No not here, but on my Weblog. I figured
out how to make it snow. It wasn’t hard…check option: snow. For me it’s
High Tech!
Today is the Feast of Sinterklaas..or…St. Nicholas. It’s where the
tradition of gift giving started. This is a St. Nicholas doll my sister
gave me, way back when. It’s St. Nicholas wearing his vestments,
including the [...]
