'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,This blogger was decorating, with much help from her spouse...
A sweet vintage Santa with eight perfect mugs, Reminders of parents and holiday hugs
We don't have a mantle or new-fallen snow,But we deck out our schooner with small lights that glow
And Handsome exclaimed, as he walked out of sight No opening presents til later tonight!
I'll be heading out this morning to make my annual Christmas Eve gift at the Suncoast Community Blood Bank. A pint of my O negative blood may help save someone's life over the holidays. I'll pick up last minute supplies for Christmas dinner, and then I'll look forward to getting back home and spending the rest of the evening with my sweetheart.
If you're traveling, please be safe and I'll look forward to seeing you back here soon. If it's cold where you live, I'll remind you as my first grade teacher used to "Button up your overcoat, when the winds blow free. Take good care of yourself, you belong to me." Merry Christmas Eve to you and your loved ones.You are all true blessings in my life.

You're a dear to go donate blood! I'm having a good old time here by myself. Made brownies earlier. Been decoupaging some projects. I love it like this: all quiet. Nothing I have to do. Paradise! Merry Christmas!
