Once again the holidays have gone way too fast! Happy that I taped my favorite Christmas movies on Hallmark so that I can watch them when I please. Glad that most of the cookies are gone now so I don't eat any more! It was a great Christmas and a lovely New Year's. We even had a party in between. Today I plan to take it all down and leave up the snow people and any Winter related stuff. Thinking of Valentine's Day!

Before Christmas I got a few bargains on some old fashioned Christmas decorations from the thrift shop and just had a great holiday all the way around!
Our party table for our mid Christmas Week party! Some wonderful friends and family.
A couple of gifts I received was this awesome reindeer from my niece Donna:
The scarf and runner were made for me by my son's girlfriend's Mom.
Some other gifts I got was a lot of country stuff for my house. Some great books. A basket of crafting supplies with a Michaels gift card. Candles! ...gosh I was really spoiled!
We had a nice dinner for New Year's at one of our favorite restaurants and guess what? I'll be eating the leftovers while I take down the Christmas stuff!
Here's a great set from Home Depot in case you didn't see it. It's a fairy garden for Winter! I chose gingerbread! I bought Santa Claus's village for a friend. I think they're adorable. I went back to get more and they were gone!
Thinking of Valentine's Day! Gonna set up my Valentine's tree after all this is packed up! Happy New Year everybody!
HAPPY NEW YEAR Margaret!

So good to see and hear about your wonderful Christmas. The girlfriend's mom surely does knit well. Lucky you! I like the reindeer and of course I'm crazy about good candles. Yes, time for the cookies to go. I have 2 gingerbread men left because we forgot to send them home with the grands. Darn! :D
