We bought new lights on Ebay this year and love them. They are the LED 'fairy' lights. I think I got 4-100 light strands at 5.95 a strand. They run on regular house current and have push button controls that change the twinkle pattern.

I love the idea of an 'orphan dinner'. Sounds like so much fun for folks like DH and myself who don't have kids nor family close by. It would probably be hard to organize in our neighborhood as the Amish have family head counts 16 or 18. The next door non Amish have 15. On the other side of us we asked that couple what they were doing for Christmas and got a Bah Humbug! response from them.

Doesn't it make you sad for folks like that? I'm 65 years old and DH 67. We both enjoy the lights and decorations not to mention the cookies and treats and Christmas in general. Guess we are just kids in old bodies!

And now because they are just too darned cute not to watch again at Christmas:

Got a friend's quilt on the long arm today and got it about a third done. I've been harassing her for years to get it done (she had less than 2 hours left putting the top together) and I offered to quilt it should she get her keister in gear and finish it. That sweetened the pot enough.

Have tomorrow off too (thanks trump) but as always I volunteered to work Xmas day as I don't have family up here and the day is meaningful to my staff.

How long can your "arm" of the federal government go unstaffed before the "clients" suffer? I would think not long at all!

Split and stacked 1 run of wood in the empty rack. Took almost 2 hours. And yes the wood was already cut to length.

Federal holidays mean skeleton crew. One person works the 24 hours. Someone volunteered to take Monday. I took Tuesday. We aren't closed, but the outpatient clinics are.
 
SGC's quilting is ALWAYS nice quilting.

I was just out closing up the coops. Kept hearing some weird animal bark in the timber across the road. All three of our remaining dogs including the 14 year old who is as deaf as a board were lined up at the fence barking their heads off.

I came in and looked up my suspicions on youtube.Sure enough, got us a fox that is barking at the local dogs. I had seen tracks around our coop last month during the heavy snow we had then. Like I said. Just when I get ready to let the birds free range.......

Wednesday when I was in the Salvation Army I heard a woman trying to cough up a lung. Sure enough. Guess who started trying to cough up a lung this afternoon? Just told DH that I hate thinking I'm going to have to start wearing a mask when I go into stores but it sure looks that way. Why do people run around when they are sick?:hit
 
micro, that's why I do a lot of ebay, and amazon for my Christmas shopping. At least 2 people I know got sick, going out to the stores to do their Christmas shopping. That's part of the reason I was so ticked off at my cousin when she dragged me out on Black Friday, but only wanted to go window shopping, and didn't really want to buy anything.
