Christmas 2024

December 28th, 2024 at 09:40 pm

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to 2025!

My Christmas season was very, very busy. Besides shopping and baking and sending cards, I also tackled the storage room with the many, many, many Christmas decorations of my new husband and his late wife. We went through every tote of stuff, and he chose a few items he wanted to keep, but the rest we boxed up and donated to our church bazaar.  A lot. Hopefully someone else will get some enjoyment out of this stuff. I just smile when I go into the storage room because it looks so much neater. My DH has some of his tools down there and he said he wanted to finish putting a piece of drywall on a wall that he's put off because he couldn't get to it with all the stuff there. I see a label maker in my future when we put away our decorations this year.

Sadly my bubble light tree died. It was over 50 years old. My electrical engineer husband looked at it, but it on one wiring circuit and since one of the bubble lights quit, they all quit. Unless we can find the lights with the small base, guess it's dead, but I've enjoyed it all these years. I shared it with a grandson when we were putting it out and he thought it was really cool -- kind of nice a 20 year old would think something so vintage was cool. 

We spent a lot, but all our bills are paid so no outstanding bills. I heard on the news that many people are still paying for Christmas 4 months after. That is just plain scary. We gave a lot of practical gifts or else money or gift cards. 

Hope your Christmas was amazing and hope the new year is as well!
