MOYNA'S RAMBLINGS (4)

'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY, HO, HO, HO!!! I don't think HO (so). I'm am still having problems with my back, so I'm not getting done what needs to be done - bummer. I will be working up until Christmas at the rate I'm moving, instead of enjoying the week before as I try to do. At least the house is decorated, so I can enjoy the lights at night. It's a relaxing time at the end of a stressful day. Fred has been quite helpful with my back giving me fits. He has run errands & done things around the house...all the while trying to wrap up his sales year. He's been stressed also, but hasn't been too short with me!!
Freddy will be home on the 19th. Although the kids are out on the 15th, the teachers have to come in that Monday, the 18th. I am putting together some gift bags - an ornament & treats - for some of his colleagues (like the principle & secretary(ies); it doesn't hurt to stay on their good side!!). I hope they will enjoy the gift bag.
The weather here is friggin' COLD. We've been in the teens at night & lucky to hit 40 during the day. It is suppose to warm-up to around 50 the next couple of days. I'm wishing and hoping (and praying a little) for some snow this year!!!! It's been about 4 years since we've seen snow during winter. One year we actually had it at Christmas...large, beautiful flakes coming down just about all day. It was soooo BEAUTIFUL, and made for such a warm, cozy Christmas! The nice thing is, the snow is here for a few days, so we don't have to live in it for any length of time...just enough time to enjoy it.
The cats are beginning to get excited about Christmas...they love all of the decorations! They have been on their best behavior (at least for them...) in hopes Santa will leave some catnip and catnip toys in their stocking. Doo-Rail keeps looking up the chimney, already on the lookout for Santa! He just doesn't understand Santa won't be here for another 15 days!!
As this holiday season fast approaches, I want to wish all of you a merry time (eggnog helps).
Stay safe and stress-free. Enjoy time with family and friends. Reflect on why we celebrate Christmas.
