“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the
whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the
most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ― Roald Dahl
I
love Christmas secrets, everyone hiding and working on something that gets
shoved aside/covered when you walk in to a room. I love watching their sneaky moves, tapping
on their doors and listening to them scurry around thinking you are going to
enter!
I
have the luxury of working on and wrapping gifts while the house in empty.
I inherited a need to disguise gifts so that the recipient won’t know what they are. My mother was very good at it. Me, I do it because I know I love to shake gifts and try to guess, it adds to the giddy anticipation of Christmas.

So
I have been busy making gifts along with baking. I have a couple of things to pick up this
weekend and then next week I should be done with everything. Yeah,
I put that in writing so you know the little demons are going to wreck havoc
upon my plan for sure!
The
weather has been very un-December like.
We had a quick 4 inches of snow that was melting soon after it
fell. Yesterday the temperature was 56 with a little rain. It is the
one damper on my otherwise festive season.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for a white Christmas…it can melt the next day, I just want that one day. And NOAA seems to agree with me. According to their map we have a 50-75% chance of a white Christmas. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
We
went to the annual Hunter’s Bingo held by the VFW and we cleaned house this
year. We even won one of the guns they
were raffling off! So far as hunting
season…my freezer sits empty.
The unthinkable happen ...I ran out of flour! I buy it in 25 or 50 pound bags so I though there was more in the pantry but boy was I disappointed. So I guess today I am finally going to start to decorate. We are going to a tree farm this weekend to cut our tree. Tonight the man and I are wrapping presents. I have everything boxed up ready to go. He will be wrapping one of his own gifts and wont even know it until he asks what name to write on the label! For some reason that makes me giggle!

I don't know who the recipient of that adorable fox scarf is, but they are bound to love it. That is just too cute!!
I'm hoping for a White Xmas too, and like you, if it's gone the next day, that' fine. But Xmas feels more like Xmas when there is snow on the ground.
Hope all are well and that you have a wonderful Holiday and a VERY GOOD 2013!! :)
