"Oh by Gosh by Golly......."

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees.......

well i have no river to sail away on, but, if it hadn't gotten below 30 degrees last night, I'd have a lake in my driveway. :) That reminds me, i should spread some salt :P

It's Christmas Eve! Truly my favorite day of the year. Somehow, on this night, it is easy to imagine the babe, the manger, the steam from warmth rising into the crisp cool evening. The smell of warm straw, and horses, and cows, and new life. The look on Mary's face, the thoughts running through Joeseph's head. The crazy looking shepheards running like mad to find a barn, and worship a baby. The angels overhead, singing, and God, looking down on it.
Then add in today, the children anxious for Christmas morning, the familes all congregating together for meals, and laughs and memories. The twinkle lights in every house, the trees making it smell like the woods in our living rooms. The candles, the food, the feeling of belinging.
No other day compares to this one in my opinion.
So, tonight, i am hosting Christmas eve for the first time. So fun! We are having as many Atkin's as we can get here, knowing we are missing a large chunk still. We will eat manacotti, salad, bread, and end the evening with chocolate fondue! SO fun! Then of course gifts, so fun, and a couple for my kiddos, they must have their new jammies!

I do hope everyone will have as nice a Christmas Eve as we will. After all......
"There's only one more sleep till Christmas!"

Update

Well, life got crazy for everyone. Updating a hair blog didn’t seem very important, but as we stand and look forward at what is sure to be an even more bizarre year end, I find the need to be thinking about something frivolous and fun. I’ve had some serious health issues lately that are still working themselves out, so I really just needed a pick me up. Who doesn’t? So here are some pics, my hair is crazy curly these days, and recently I even cut it, by myself, after doing some online reading about how to do it, and I LOVE my hair right now! It’s so bouncy and light and off my neck!  My last hair appointment before the quarantine shut down.  Got pneumonia had to go to ER for Covid tests and all the fun stuff. Thankfully it was quickly fixed with antibiotics  I am trying to grow out my grey and embrace the “sparkle” but, it’s hard without a good colorist, or cut, so I made it through the shut down with manic panic ultra violet. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 4th of July, didn’t go anywhere of ...
