As you all know, I gave it up - this is the second year without any tree or most decorations. I thought I had sold or given away all my ornaments but I found a couple of boxes the other day. Mostly antique I think, from the 1940s. Nice to see again but I will let them go too.
But, I love Christmas and I actually use my Christmas coffee mugs all year long as well as the bowls with the snowmen around the edge. If I find them, I know I kept my sleigh bells on red leather for hanging on the door...
Here's the message I like to put on my answering machine at this time:
'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse.
But the telephone rang once
and a second time, too,
so our answering machine
is talking to you.
We wish you the happiest times
of good cheer!
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah,
and a Happy New Year!
