(We had strict orders from the Grandchildren to be there "early" - they must wait at the top of the stairs until we arrive.) Hope your day was happy and restful.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-53685860422105343442009-12-25T18:15:14.130-05:002009-12-25T18:15:14.130-05:00I love the last line of your post, the best.

I feel I've done exactly that & count you among those whom I'm honoured to call Friend.<br /><br />Today is my first day off work for the holidays and, with no blood relatives in the vicinity, I've invited a few friends over for an informal Open House on the 27th. I'm looking forward to have my 'family' here then. In the meantime, I'll be enjoying some quiet time with my furballs, a beverage, and a chick flick or two.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Carolynn Anctilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566204713508877389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-28454340855550440922009-12-25T17:10:05.547-05:002009-12-25T17:10:05.547-05:00I agree with you on the gift front.

I think it should go back to being just a token gift. My sister gives me her homemade chutney, and I love it. If someone bought me a jar of olives or a nice smelling soap I'd be quite happy. I don't see why it has to be an ipod or laptop. One man made his sister a cake. He is 84. It meant more to her than any gift he could buy. I hope you've had a wonderful day.Autumn Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970884029498352422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-90324114351348699502009-12-25T10:53:32.679-05:002009-12-25T10:53:32.679-05:00Beautiful post, June.
