On the 5th day or is it 4th

All I want for christmas is a new season of 24…hhhmmmm,hhhmmmm,hmmmmm,  yup that is me humming. I may be the last person to hear this but I am just bursting at the seams knowing that January 15th it starts again…4 HOUR SEASON PREMIERE!!!!!! I do love that show, I’ve missed it so. This santa was given to me by my Aunt Elly. She is very special to me, so that is why I keep this very unique “simply santa”. He is very soft and furry and handmade.

On the 10th day

I may be a little screwed up on my days…but here’s a santa nonetheless. He is small, ceramic and yes, old. Happy friday to all.

On the 11th day….

We celebrate a special christmas with my mother-in-law a week before the actual christmas. I was told to bring cookies. Now I don’t know if she has read my post but this one hurts. I love my mother-in-law. She is a very warm, giving, extremely hardworking person. She and I are unique in our own rights, but very similar as well. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her but if I find out she is asking me to bring cookies because she read my post then there will have to be revenge…just you wait. Hee hee hee On the flip side though, I did make cookies yesterday. My daughter was having a friend over and it was more difficult to make them than to go buy them. So in the holiday spirit of giving myself more to do than necessary, I took pics of my cookie making. Just to prove I did it. Yup, chocolate chip. Just couldn’t mess with making anything else. On the 11th day…. This santa was given to me by said mother-in-law who wants me to actually make cookies for christmas. He looks like a wilderness santa which is exactly where they live. She gave him to me quite a few years ago. It may have been before we were married now that I think about it. I like his face which you can’t really see because of his beard. He’s a keeper! and so is she. But beware….

On the 12th day of….

Well as I promised here’s a santa…he’s a candle and I treasure this one dearly. He is very old. He reminds me of days of when I was a child and we had big christmas’s at my grandmothers house with all my cousins. I suppose I may have seen him there when I was little and that is where I get these feelings. These are truly christmas feelings, remembering family and happy times. Merry Christmas to all my cousins, whom all live far away now. On the crafty side, I actually sat and made some buttons yesterday. I have sewn them on a birthday present. This is a beach cover up thing for a 4 year old.  Here’s the button pic. Here’s the full shot. Thinking about the beach, when there’s nuttin but snow out there, is nice.

Not so secret Santas

In the past few years a collection of Santas has started in our house. A while back my grandmother moved out of her house and downsized. I was lucky enough to get a lot of her decorations, which included an assortment of santas. To help keep me in the holiday spirit I will probably post some of these on the days leading up to Christmas. Especially since I can’t post any of my craftiness due to my elfiness. Anyway, I received this santa as a gift recently and he makes me happy. This other santa, is absolutely beautiful, and was a gift last year for my birthday. He’s all felt. I can say I felt santa. I didn’t make it though, so I can’t say I felted up santa. Whew, I need to work on the jokes.
