The Feeling

December has arrived and I'm late like usual.

Only days til Christmas and I have tons to do.

Just little stocking shopping but still the busy malls

and finding parking are more than I wish.

Where is the Holiday Spirit ?

I just would like 'it' to be easier.

Ya know what I mean.

This is the new Holiday ornament.

I got it last January on sale.

Was 50 % off.

I almost forgot about it.

Looks a bit like a Russian egg to me.

With all of it's detail work.

We got the tree up last weekend.

It is now shining at me

in the wee hours of this day.

I enjoy the twinkle of the lights

the most about Holidays.

With it being dark so much

in the late Fall & now Winter,

the brightness of lights

and the joy of the

Holiday Spirit

are what I enjoy

the most.

So, here's to you.

May you enjoy

this Holiday.

I plan on opening

my Holiday cards

on the Eve

(yes, I save them up)

and listening to

music while

I have a cat or dog

near me.

It's not the gifts that make me happy

it's the Season, the feeling,

the not craziness,

the cookies,

the not mess in the kitchen,

the bows on the gifts,

(there could be nothing in the box)

I think you get what I'm saying

Ho Ho Ho

Merry New Year

Holiday Clouds

These clouds were hanging around during the T Day weekend.

I always seem to take photos aiming this direction.

We get the coolest colors over those hills.

Holidays are an interesting thing to me.

I came from a small family.

Thus I do not enjoy huge gatherings.

Never have and never will.

I'm usually the one in the back watching

the drama unfold.

I enjoy the quiet of this time.

Taking in the things that mean the most to me.

Nature and peace.
