And my cat Joey approves!
It took me a little over two hours to wrap all these gifts. I did it in front of the tree while watching The Gathering, a great old Christmas movie. It was so much fun to imagine the faces tomorrow when the paper comes off.
I tossed in the long black scarf I got from my best friend because I wanted to remember it as Christmas 2011. You can't tell, but it's all ruffly.
I'm so glad I put the tree up.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I've got to finish up my goodie bags. My nieces & nephew love that I wrap all kinds of silly, meaningful stuff together in a gift bag for them. Plus their yearly ornament!
ReplyDeleteSo preety! :) I hope you have a wonderful time with your family (all the attendant drama aside!) and come away with happy memories!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Gal!
