Okay, who's feeling jolly, and who isn't?

I thought it would be great to have a thread during this especially stressful, yet jolly, season where anyone could come to vent or just chat.

I'm feeling a bit stressed out today. I have a short list of gifts that I have decided on, and a long list of gifts that I still need to discover. My decorations are all still in the attic, my cookies need baked, and I need to think about holiday cards. My get up and go seems to have got up and went when it comes to Christmas this year.

Typically, I'm glowing by this time. Have most of my shopping done, set my Christmas music on and go about baking and decorating. The thought of even listening to Christmas music is making me fidgety.

I'm hoping for a better outlook tomorrow.

Okay, I'll add that in some countries, it's no longer politically correct to say Ho, Ho, Ho. Hmmmm, puzzling, but if I've offended anyone, Ha, Ha, Ha!





Wanna get your STOCKING STUFFED?

Oh dear, I gulped down that hot toddy so quickly that I instantly fell sound asleep -- and failed to thank you! It was yummy! Feeling much better today...

LOL...my handyman fell sound asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow (which is typical for a Friday night after working/traveling all day) and then started snoring so loudly I could barely stand to be in the same room with him (which is not so typical). Maybe later he'll be rested enough to give me something to post in the 1,000 Nights thread. That would certainly help get my jolly going!

Hi EM...it's good to see you up and about!


This is a bad time of year to be under the weather.


I am raising my glass to the "other" things in life.


They are wondrous...are they not?

All the "other" things in life *are* wondrous, and worthy of a nice toast.

The cold is hanging on by its fingertips, but I've honestly never had one depart so quickly before. (I hope that statement doesn't jinx my recovery...)

I would like to bring a bit of the beach to all for a toast.



Warm and wonderful things are happening here ...



Full report to follow in the morning!
