Note to self - must do this again next year!
It's taken away all the pressure. Because I've had so much time, I've had fun and experimented a little with wrapping. Even had time to take photos - will show you next December.
All the planned sewing for gifts has been completed - photos to come after Christmas.
This time of year means different things to different people. For me, it's all about family - a day with the most important people in my life.
We'll no doubt spend time outdoors.
What we do during the day is not important - being together is.
Since it's Summer here in Australia, it'll be warm. It's predicted to be 30ºC (86ºF), for us. In other parts of the country they are expecting a very hot 40ºC (104ºF).
Whether you celebrate in sweltering heat, or with snow falling outside, I hope you unwrap lots of joy, love, peace and laughter with the people who mean the most to you.
Seasons Greetings - Merry Christmas - Happy Hannukah

ReplyDeleteI got my sewing done early, then added NEW "extra" projects to my To Do list, and then was still stitching and wrapping gifts at 9:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve! I don't think I'd ever be able to sit still and just watch a movie or visit with friends on Christmas Eve - I think I'm destined to be a last minute do-er, LOL. I did run out of fabric gift bags so I've picked up several meters of Christmas fabrics on my Joanns run, so those will go right in my To Do pile for 2017! I definitely need to whip up a few larger bags, and then some medium ones - they'll never go to waste, that's for sure!

We did have a terrific Christmas though, with most of the family, and everybody safe at home now.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours all the best through the holiday season!
When I picture snow, I don't tend to think about the downsides. I just see the picturesque, postcard scenes. Even though your Christmas weather is so different to ours, it's family that really count. Glad most of the family were home and that you had a terrific Christmas.
DeleteHi Pam! We didn't have a white Christmas here in Oklahoma, but it did get warmer for us than it had been. We kind of miss the snow we were accustomed to in Germany. Although not having to scrape ice is not a bad thing. We too like to spend Christmas at home with our kids.
