Am I ready for Christmas? No.

Christmas is almost here as you know.
Am I ready? No. Does it matter? Not really.
I think it will probably be the end of the week before
I get any more shopping done. That's just the way
it's panning out this year. But on Christmas Day
the whole family will gather at number one son's
 home and we will celebrate together,
just as we have every year.
And that's what matters :)

Newly married grand daughter, Monica, came over

and decorated our tree. She did a great job too :)

 

And after putting my nativity up and looking at it for

several days I have just realized that Joseph is AWOL!

I've made a cake too, disaster. I've cut it up and

 will use it for pudding with hot custard over it.

And so 'til next time

 E noho ra, goodbye
