Today THE STONE RABBIT helped me with my Christmas gifts to Bonnie. It's so hard to believe that in just two weeks I've decorated, shopped, wrapped, cleaned, cooked and entertained both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
I often dream of having everything done by the day after Thanksgiving, but there is no way that will ever happen.....I just don't operate that way!! I actually must enjoy trying to cram everything together at the last minute as that's the way I've always done it..... actually, these next few days are some of my favorite. I love knowing all the "work" is over and now I can bask in the glow of the Christmas lights that are all over our house on various trees and greenery vignettes.
Anyway, Bonnie and I had a great breakfast this morning , followed by our gift exchange. She and I roll the same way.....she's also always down to the wire getting her preparations done for the holidays.....so us getting together AFTER Christmas is pretty much a tradition for us and it's one I really look forward to. We're not stressed and thinking about what all we still need to do...we're done and ready to relax for the next few days!
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!

Dana, I had our decorated by early December, but putting a post together to share our home for the holidays is more in the last minute category. Ha! I was working on my post well into the late afternoon of Christmas Eve, just in time to hit publish before leaving for dinner at my brother-in-law's home. Like you, I'm still basking in the glow of the Christmas lights. I've friends who have already taken down the tree and put all Christmas away. Not me! I'm going to enjoy it a bit longer.
Happy New Year!

That sounds perfect Dana! It's always so hectic right before Christmas. It just hit me that I too have a stone rabbit. He holds court in my garden. I hauled him all the way to Colorado from Massachusetts where I bought him! That's dedictation since I think he was in my airplane carry on!
Thanks for stopping by to say hello,
Judy
