This might be our last year with our son at home, depending on where he goes to college, so I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it.Kathy A.

This year I've been making ornaments for my housekeeper, who lost her house in a fire over the summer. I enjoy making the ornaments, and she really appreciates them - Christmas is her very favorite time of year. Other than that, I can't say that I've done much for Christmas - except I have bought several gifts. My favorite part of the holidays these days is that we get to see our son and daughter-in-law. I almost said that they come home for Christmas, but since they bought a house, I don't know that this is home anymore.

Good luck with the decorating and clearing, and hope you get that time for baking and painting. (I will be baking those cookies this weekend--wish you were here to share them!) And, yes, that Wellington was spectacular. I'm lucky for that reason and many others!Kathy A.

I share many of them with you including watching the Rose Parade after the holidays. I'm itching to bake (and paint), but I've got to do some decorating and clear out my youngest son's room before he arrives home again!! Yikes I better get busy.<br /><br />P.S. That Beef Wellington looks fabulous! You are a lucky girl!!Claire Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422062718551034294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930263311780001387.post-48557885163497558812012-12-10T20:02:02.905-05:002012-12-10T20:02:02.905-05:00Kathy--I'm sorry about your mother-in-law.

My MIL was in the hospital for a full week and is now in a nursing home/rehab 45 minutes away. I need to get the tree put up so it seems like Christmas. Not one present is bought.<br /><br />I love your ideas and how you are psyching yourself up, Kathy.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.com
