Midday Musings and Holiday Fun

Make Time for Small Reflections

I'm happy to have my cards finished & mailed. I've spent a few hours this morning responding to email and comments (if I have your email address). I'm far enough behind that I'm not likely to be able to write responses on my blogs ... so I want you all to know that I appreciate everyone who visited and shared their thoughts.

Here's a quickie holiday video ... Enjoy!

The Last Minute

I shared a Public Service Announcement for Coffee Drinkers at Happily Retired Gal earlier ... and will repeat it here ... just because.

Starbucks has all their coffee beans on sale at 20% off until December 31st … so I stocked up on Christmas Blend (regular & decaf), getting an EXTRA 10% off with my ‘card’ … pretty nifty, eh?

Holiday Update from the North Pole
NORAD has learned that the closing ceremonies for the Reindeer Games have taken place at the North Pole. More than 48 reindeer participated this year. Challenges included take-off speed, freestyle sky-dancing, synchronized touch-and-go, and hoof patty-cake for the fawns.

Santa’s elves have finished installing the lights around Santa’s Workshop. As with the Jewish Festival of Light on Hanukkah, Christmas is a time to bring warmth and brightness into the world. Candles and lights are symbols of that spirit.
