Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to
all of my blogging friends!! It was a
wonderful Christmas in the Comfort Zone.
We spent the morning watching the little ones open their gifts and play
with each one and/or ooo and awww over them. I call the picture “Aftermath”
because it looks like a Texas tornado hit DD’s living room. The adults agreed to forego gift giving this
year and give to a charity of our choice instead.
I love the fact that some very worthy groups benefited from the
Christmas shopping we didn’t do:
M. D. Anderson Cancer Hospital (where a friend of ours had cancer
surgery today), Wounded Warriors, Building Homes for Heroes, Toys For Tots and
so on….
I did receive a gift that I will say
without fear of contradiction is my all-time favorite gift—a quilt embroidered with
DH’s and my name and anniversary surrounded by squares containing the name and
birth date of all of our sons, daughters, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Every member of the
family is named on a square, and when I wrap the quilt around myself I feel the
love of each one of the people represented there!! I may live with it wrapped around me!!
Also, nurse-photographer son has said
for some time that I did not have a “proper” camera so the Canon S100 was in my
stocking. I love it and hope to learn to
take respectable pictures with it!!
When we left DD’s house there was snow beginning to fall and by the time we arrived at home it was accumulating and finally ended at about 2 inches.
BTW if you haven’t ever made tea with
a tea press I recommend that you think about buying/trying one. It is the best infusion of crystal clear tea
I have ever had!
Well that was our day this beautiful
Christmas of 2012. The years seem to go
by faster and faster, so I expect to start knitting/planning for Christmas 2013
sometime next week. Can’t let it get
ahead of me.
Life is good!!

Personalized quilts are by far the best quilts to receive. Enjoy your blanket of love!
What a wonderful Christmas! I've suggested charitable giving a couple of times here, but it's always met with resistance. Sigh...
Enjoy that tea press!

Merry Christmas
What a HAPPY HAPPY CHristmas. Your room of unwrapped looks like a kiddos dream!!!! Have you discovered AIRHOG toys yet? Maybe the kids are too little for them yet? They are our favorite toys to give.
Zach worked at Tazo Tea awhile so he is the tea infustion expert. He always uses looseleaf teas in his infusers....enjoy them!! He likes red teas best which aren't true teas...
I Love your Knit buddy! SO glad Santa brought you a real WHITE Christmas...such a cheer!
