Holiday leftovers are my favorite.

Floor lamp is mostly wood. The kids have tipped it over several times and it kind of crooked and unstable, but it still works!
We aren't having a sit down dinner, but more of a nosh party! Lots of little stuff to taste and try. I made scalloped potatoes and sis is bringing a half spiral ham. For the rest that are more adventurous, we are having 2 kinds of ceviche, chicken tamales, deviled eggs, smoked salmon, cheese ball ala my brother, cheese-salami-pate with crackers, tropical fruit salad, tortilla chips-guacamole-salsa, shrimp cocktail (because crab season sucks this year ), spinach dip, olives-pickles, huge veggie tray and green salad. If that's not enough, maybe some polenta with red sauce and bleu cheese.
Dessert is cookies and ice cream. Dad, sis, and bro are coming at 1-ish and we will snack all day.

Merry Christmas!

I got a fancy necklace “from the kids.” My trip to the UK was my gift for years to come.

I told mom a thing I wanted, but she had trouble ordering it. She gave me the cash to get it, but it was under the table so I didn’t have anything to unwrap. My feelings aren’t hurt, she’s been so unwell lately that I’m impressed she was able to get things for DH and the kids.

Neither of my kids even sent me a card. No call, no gifts. Makes me sad.

@twisted-acres-farm Out of general curiosity, how long have you owned the motel?

bought it in 1999. The bank is 'kind enough' to allow me to continue to make payments

Hi Cap! It's so nice to get pretty Christmas cards, isn't it? I'm glad we started the tradition here. I have mine standing up all across the mantle. Don't need to do any other decorating, they are so cute.
Is it Christmas yet for you? Hubs and I were talking tonight that it doesn't seem like Christmas, and I think it's because we don't have to travel anywhere since MIL passed. It's actually been pretty relaxing, but there's still that something missing. Guess we need to fill that gap with some new traditions.

OR Grandchildren. And then you can work on becoming the "dragon lady"
