Happy Holidays

Posted by Terri Martin, Volunteer Mentor @windwalker, Dec 24, 2018

December is the month of holidays. I hope that those of Jewish faith, had a wonderful Hannukah celebration. For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I wish you a merry one. For all others, peace and goodwill. I am posting this sparkling tree to symbolize all of us. Each light on the tree represents each of us. Together, we shine!

@heathert, Ahhh...walking on the beach! How nice. It is chilly here. It was 29° (like -2 celcius) here this morning. We have been 'camping out' in a rental home that I own 7 hrs away from where I live. It is located in my hometown where I grew up. My long time tenant passed away this past Oct. so we took this opportunity to refurbish the place. I know I have no business doing this with all of the dust and fumes, but I can't help myself. I love to fix up places. I am exhausted right now, so we had a low key xmas. My hubby made a nice steak dinner for three (my daughter came over) and we had our gift exchange. Good stuff, too! I gave my chef hubby an All Clad 10" fry pan. He thought he had died and gone to heaven! He cooked our steaks in it tonight and reported it made all the difference in the world. It was fun!

@windwalker Yes we have summer here which is nice for Xmas, -2 celcius sounds very very cold we only get that temp in the early morning if there is a frost. So glad you had a fun Xmas with your family. Doing up houses sounds like lots of fun, Choosing the new colours would be great, show us some pics when you are done.

@sueinmn, So glad you feel good now and are back to enjoying family and entertaining. I still don't have the energy for that kind of undertaking.

@windwalker Hi Terri - So glad you were able to take a short pause in your refurb to relax with family. I couldn't have done it without my husband and daughter, because by the time our guests left each time (3 gatherings in 5 days!) I was completely worn out. I have also learned to simplify - gone are the days of many, many dishes and decorations. We had a simple buffet, my sister brought part of the food, and a few cookies. But yesterday was awesome - my niece and nephew came with their small children, so my grandsons had playmates - but what chaos with 5 under the age of 5 for several hours. And my kids and their cousins had a blast recalling their childhood antics - so much laughter. Thank goodness all of these parents believe in early bedtime for their children, so we had no hysterical overly tired melt-downs. We are blessed.
