I wasn't sure if Santa would come for me as I'm not always a very good girl. Just ask John, he'll agree with that..LOL!!

Early on John and I talked about not exchanging gifts, but he didn't like that idea. So, my sweet Santa John got me a gift card from my favorite store, Coldwater Creek, beautifully wrapped by the store. They do such a nice job of packaging all the time, but at Christmas, they do even better.


Along with that, he wrote me the sweetest love letter. Awww..good boy John!


He then thought, so he tells me, that he wanted to get me more, so he went back to Coldwater Creek a couple of days before Christmas and bought me *another* gift card!! Wow..Very Good Boy John!!
He knows I really was a very good girl after all!

That's not all. He also gave me a beautiful greeting card with a wonderful loving printed message. Along with that, he also found a love poem online that he thought spoke of his feelings for me. He tweaked it some to make it personal and printed it to include in my card. He loves me, that's for sure! I am fortunate and I know it.

 John needs lots of clothes. I mean, he already has/had lots of clothes, but a large percentage of those have gone to GoodWill and more need to go there too! So, I gave him two pairs of pants, three shirts and a sweater. I recently, not for Christmas, bought him three sweaters and two casual hang around the house pants too. He still needs more stuff, but that was all I could handle for now. I didn't give him a card or love note, but did speak loving words to him about how thankful I am that he is in my life.


We fixed some eggs, turkey bacon and toast for breakfast. Later we'll make turkey legs, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and cranberry sauce. We forgot to buy something special for dessert, but we do have our usual snack, sugar free pudding cups and that will be fine. This evening we'll enjoy champagne together and watch a movie or two.


It's a good day all around even though we'll not be seeing family today. We had a fun time last night at his DD's house with all his immediate family and , as you know, we already had Christmas with my family earlier. The church service afterwards was beautiful too. It is a Very Blessed Christmas.


I hope you're all enjoying a good day too. Rusty, I know you're looking forward to tomorrow's celebration! I hope the weather is good for everyone, especially for those traveling. It's sunny here today in south central KS and going up to 52*F and will be the same tomorrow and supposed to hit 59*F! That will be great for the airplane to take off safely!


So, everyone, how is your day going so far? Did Santa come to visit you?? Do tell if you'd like as you know we all have inquiring minds..lol!!


I have been enjoying reading posts and seeing all the holiday sig tags too..very nice!!


Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas everyone!
When I count my blessings, I always count all of you.

I just did some shopping online with my gift cards. I got the black leather jacket!!

I also got this top in the green color. I also got the black pants that are featured with this top.....


http://www.coldwatercreek.com/Products/ProductATB.aspx?productid=44183&ensembleid=50280


AND THEY WERE ALL HALF PRICE!!! WooHoo..I am a happy shopper!!!


And I still have more gift cards to shop with too! I may wait until the spring line comes in for I have enough winter stuff now. I've wanted that leather jacket really bad, but didn't want to pay full price. Makes me smile big...


:-))


Next year I'll do what you did with the catalog. John will like that for I'll circle and dog ear more than I want so he can make choices and I won't know what I'm getting. That way he can shop without fear and I'll get what I'll like too. Great plan!! I used to do that with my late DH too and it worked so well, better than getting stuff that you don't like or doesn't look good on your body type or is the wrong size. I hate making returns!


John and I love Wii too..so fun!! Lucky Tom!! At other homes who have a Wii, I've played bowling, tennis and golf so far. We'd like to get one too one of these days.


Well, back to finish up packing. I hate to pack..just hate it!! Then I need to start cooking our dinner.


Enjoy the rest of your day and I will do the same!
