I am gifting my DIL with my mother's diamond neckace. I hope she enjoys it. It was made from my mother's third wedding ring to my dad. When they first married, it was a plain skinny gold band; when they had more money, a pink gold with precious stones that I wore at my wedding; then the diamond, which was made into a necklace when the stone fell out, and a platinum one took it's place.

I will also be composing a note to tell DIL how much I love her and trust her. We have issues--we have known each other 14 years and we don't know each other any better than when we met. Maybe we never will.........

My favorite Carol---even the pagans are enthralled.

There was a time in my life that the holidays really bothered me. Losing your parents at 9 years old does present its challenges, especially around the holidays. Friends and keeping busy got me through those days. These days, I enjoy the season.

Every year the local Rotary club dress up this Dray and Shire horses with bells and snow ( they can't let the reindeer come yet because they're resting before their long flight from Lapland) .. and lovely elves.. and the week before Christmas they come around our streets carrying Santa Claus waving hello to the children who are watching from their windows.. and so they know Santa will be coming to see them soon with their gifts..
