  8. Carla, that Christmas cookie is so special with the Manger. Christmas movies are nice to watch during this wonderful season. And you had a white Christmas! What a pretty picture of the snow covering the little tree and the red bow. There's nothing like surprise Christmas packages, is there? And I got your Christmas card, thank you! It means a lot to me that you think of me at Christmas every year, Carla. : ) Have a good week leading up to the new year!

  15. All sounds wonderful. We had a very full gang at our Christmas gathering, and since have been enjoying some quiet time while trying to stay warm. We didn't get snow at Christmas, but have had some flurries since then. Happy New Year.
