  3. It's the "happy" of the season that is so nide, Agree with you.

    Enjoy a nice warm Christmas with friends!

    Blaze is beautiful. Our older girls would "feed" their horse, and it's "breath" got pretty interesting, smelled like garlic, which we grew. They called it McGarlica for that reason.

    Merry Christmas, Gal! Happy New Year!
