Last night we attended the Christmas Party of the place I used to work. It was an early night. Started at 5:30 and we were home by 8:30. Perfect for us old folks! All the employees and they are all women this year, received a cute little Christmas decoration.
Not the best photo, but it’s dark outside and lamplight is terrible. I like his cute wink and tongue sticking out.
It’s Christmas Bazaar and Craft Show season. Have you attended any?
I worked on finishing this little Christmas stamp. I finished it last year and this year it’s fully finished.
It’s a design from Melisa at Pinker n Punkin Quilting. If you scroll to the bottom of Melisa’s post that this link takes you to, there is a myriad of links to Christmas beauties.
Last Saturday was our quilting group’s Christmas gathering. The theme was Reindeer Gsmes.
Table decorations and prizes for games. The little green bucket from Menards had candy in it.
And the Camo Hoodie as a bottle cozy is so cute!
I put up a tree!
There will be an actual Christmas tree in the family room. It is still in the box. Maybe tomorrow Mr Busy and I can get it set up. 🤞

The holidays can be stressful...
What always calms you down when you’re really stressed out and upset?
Music is a calming influence for me. I don’t have Sirius Radio in my car any more, but our Alexa Show has a good selection of Christmas music. Mr Busy always used to bring me a vinyl LP of Christmas music when he and the kids shopped for my Christmas gift. I’d kind of forgotten that memory. Thanks LeeAnna for helping me recall it.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
I love Christmas music, too, Judy! We have it on in the car this time of year - I love to sing along. Your holiday get togethers sound fun, and cute gifts from them, too. That Christmas stamp is a sweet one - I stitched that one, too. Melisa's designs are hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas music too, and even if I can't sing, I sing along. lol Such fun Christmas gifts. Glad you finished the Christmas stamp. Melisa's designs are really cute. Love your whimsical Christmas tree. Our tree is out of the box, that's all. I hope to decorate it today. Meteo predicts 'heavy rain watch' and thunderstorms, we'd better stay at home and not venture out!
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing those memories, Love the tree you put up... love to you, LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteI like that little saying. And your Christmas tree is adorable.
