Ray, sometimes I think I'm ready but then I find I'm not! I would like snow for Christmas Eve and Christmas day and then it could go back up in the mountains where it belongs!

Some of my favorites----I love Christmas trees, Christmas lights and Christmas music (which seems to drive my family crazy).

Come on Rose, you know as well as I do that what you propose is 'Cloud Cuckoo Land'.

I really look forward to seeing family, just hanging out, tasting special foods, the smell of pine in the house. . . but the shopping thing, the glittery giddiness of it all, I hate.

Ready? Almost. Wishing for good weather with just a smidge of snow maybe on Christmas Eve or Cristmas Day. Rose, isn't the Christmas music just the ticket to bring the season in? Usually I am just like you listening, and watching lights twinkling in the dark. This year I sold and/or gave away most of what we had collected over the years, and decided to begin anew for 2012. Our big gift this year is a major move which is taking place on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Embrace change.

I think my wish for snow on Christmas is going to come true. It's suppose to start snowing Christmas Eve and snow through Christmas day--we'll see! You're moving over Christmas? Moving close by or far away? We have weeded out a lot of stuff we have collected over the years--it feels good. A good way to start the new year!

I am behind this year but the tree is hung and the gifts all wrapped so now I am just waiting for ol' saint Nick

and to spend some time with family and a few good friends.

I think we may not have a white Christmas here ...we have had no snow yet, do you believe that? I mean we are

talking about Buffalo--home of blizzards.
