It is never even - ever. Yet, in the years I give more, I am not happier nor am I sadder. This holiday is NOT about the gifts we give, rather is it about celebrating wit those we hold dear. You certainly get the idea of celebrating your connections rather than the gifts from others l drferreriblogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08800953133789773280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485620572840913353.post-83993807207757838992013-12-21T18:49:34.516-05:002013-12-21T18:49:34.516-05:00I received a "bobble head" ceramic frog ...I received a "bobble head" ceramic frog this year. What made this so special was that my student painted it himself and he was so proud! I have placed it next to a plant that I keep in my room.

Many years ago my daughter gave me this wax melting thing (don't know what to call it). It is one of my few Christmas things that I took out early. I turn it on, I remember my daughter (as she is far away), and I enjoy the fragrance that fills the house. Happy celebrating Amy!Jaanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027755562339582129noreply@blogger.com
