Merry Christmas

Happy Christmas Everyone!
I used to have this cartoon of Grampy on VHS and seem to remember it being a lot longer than it actually is. I also remember loving it even though it is so crazy. Enjoy!

Enjoy friends, family, giving, getting, turkey, Christmas pudding, treats, cookies, pie, cider, eggnog, laughs, crackers, lights, pressies, stockings, Christmas music, a Christmas movie and hopefully .... snow!

12 Days of Christmas Blogging: NORAD Tracks Santa!!

Finally, it's Christmas Eve. I was definitely not in the Christmas spirit yesterday but I'm trying to cheer up in time to celebrate the birth of Jesus ;)

Year after year NORAD finds its purpose in tracking Santa Claus across the globe, so make it worthwhile and hit up their site: http://www.noradsanta.org/

I just KNOW you can't help yourself .... one more sleep!

12 Days of Christmas Blogging: Random Christmas Goodness!

Some things are just too delightful not to share. Here's a couple of random christmasy things I've found recently ....

12 Days of Christmas Blogging: Crackers!

A time honoured tradition as meaningful as it is silly, the Christmas crackers is one of my favourite Christmastime delights. This year, as in many years gone by, I helped to make the ones we and some of our friends' families will be cracking open before their Christmas feasts. They are so simple to make and are a lovely gift as you can personally choose what you want to put in them for each recipient. My camera is MIA and I'm a bit pressed for time these days so Here is a link to a site that outlines how to whip these up (though you can use wrapping paper  instead of card stock and you should make your own hats from tissue paper instead of buying them - because that's more fun). Enjoy!!

If you don't have the time or the crafty know-how to pull these together, I highly recommended buying some musical Christmas crackers - they are absolutely hilarious. Every cracker in the set contains a different single note whistle and one person gets to conduct as everyone must blow their whistle at the correct time - omgsomuchfun.

12 Days of Christmas Blogging: PRESENTS!

Presents are wonderful to give and to get. They are also very pretty to look at and a wonderful addition to any home's Christmas decorations when wrapped well and with thoughtfulness.

If you've ever gone to New York around the holiday's you will know that perusing the window displays at the linkes of Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman is a must.
