Waiting in line in the shops for hours
Staying six feet apart from other shoppers
Debating over gift cards or sweaters
Drinking champagne in crystal glasses
Zooming in friends’ and family’s smiling faces
Washing your hands to be extra nice
Wearing your mask to keep coal out of your stocking
Staying socially distanced from stray elves…
Building a snowman with only people in your bu-b-b-le…
Fa-la-la-la la-la la-laaaaaaaa!
Baked shortbread-CHECK
Made a list, checked it twice-CHECK
Gifts-CHECK
Moose Milk for Santa-CHECK
Watch The Holiday-TO DO
Watch It’s A Wonderful Life-TO DO
Wishing you a holly jolly Christmas in spite of the times. The dumpster fire of 2020 is winding down. What are you looking forward to in 2021?

December 24, 2020 at 4:07 pmMoose milk?! I need to know what that is.
My kids have never seen It’s a Wonderful Life and I wonder if tonight is the night. I think they would love it if they’re ready for it. I remember sobbing the first time I saw it, as a child.
We have really loved Jingle Jangle this year.

December 25, 2020 at 2:13 pmIt’s boozy milk and whip cream! 😛 😀 It’s a Wonderful Life being a classic, is a no miss. But it is loooooong. Might be too much for the littles just yet? Aw, exactly. I’ve seen grown men cry watching it for the first time. No lie. Merry 1st Christmas to Rider! xx Enjoy the season, Tamara. Hugs.

December 21, 2020 at 8:41 pmThank you, Balroop! Ha. Deck the Halls is the song. Fa la la laaaaa is only one part of it lol. Good for you. The baking makes the house smell like Christmas. I always eat too much of it though. 😛 Now that you mention it, I may have combined two different Carols to make one. You, too have a “holly jolly” Christmas. See you in 2021! xoxo

December 21, 2020 at 8:38 pmThanks, Jeff. Yes, we sure do. That sounds good. I used to go often and hardly at all since Covid. It was a simple pleasure that I also look forward to again. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

Happy Holidays!
