An early birthday present for me.    It is a Li Bien ornament so...

LOVE....  and she went right on my Snoopy Christmas tree  ( I didnt put up the full tree this year.  I know I know...beat me a limp noodle).   Rather its been by design or by a God given  personality trait,  I tend to  get a lot of Christmas themed stuff for Christmas.  That is the 'design' part of it all....when you have a birthday close to a holiday, you tend to get gifts of that holiday.  Luckily...mine is near Christmas.  And then I have the secret part of my personality to like things dainty, feminine and colorful and that is where my God given personality trait comes into play.

Some friends and I went to dinner for my birthday and that in itself is HUGE for me.  I dont like a lot of attention and then with it being Christmas, people need their money for their families and friends for the holiday.  Crazy me forgot that I am considered family and friends to some people LOL.

Isnt it funny  how we do that?   Its okay and allowed to put more merit on others and their needs than ourselves...

I am taking a lot of time of for the holidays, something I just dont do so right now I"m going to tell you


To have a very Merry Christmas.
To have a blessed New Year
To love with all your heart
and to know that you are loved beyond your wildest dreams by a God that gave His only son for you.  No greater gift exists.
