Hope you all are spending time with your loved ones. It's been a quiet Christmas for us this year. We did manage to head out to my parents for a little while. They have a new addition. Although, they haven't decided on his name, we pretty much called him baby. I think they are going to go with "Chester"-ha!

This is him smelling Christmas dinner. He's got a really cute personality.


I'll be back to post more pictures as our Christmas celebration continues tomorrow with our little niece.

My 2 favorite perfumes.

I went perfume shopping over the weekend, wanting to try something different. I'm a big fan of Clinique Happy and pretty much anything Este Lauder and Ralph Lauren. I ventured out a little, I fell in love with the new one from Armani and refilled on one of my favorites....Romance. The perfume lady gave me some samples of different things too. If your at the mall, stop by and grab you some samples.....you won't regret it-HA! What's your favorite perfume?

I'm approaching my 200th post....perhaps a giveaway coming soon.....

I can't believe the year is almost over.....geez where is time going?

We didn't put up a tree this year, really didn't even put up any decorations. This is about as good as it gets.

Hopefully, this time next year we will be in our new home. Yes, we are looking to buy a little bit bigger, sometime in the Spring. The hardest part is deciding where....just trying to keep the kids in the same school.

Am I the only one that's feeling a little bah'humbug? Maybe if we had some snow or something...just lots of rain and gray skies.

Should Christians celebrate Christmas??

I went out to lunch with a friend of mine today, who is Jewish. I just love to sit and listen to her tell me about her faith.

Well, while I was eating my salsa n chips, she asked me " So, tell me, why do you celebrate Christmas?" I was like, umm ok, well, uh, for many reasons, one being we've always celebrated it and two, it represents Jesus's birthday. So as we continued our lunch "my wheels were spinning". We talked for a bit more then we had to depart.

So, once I got back home, I started reading some things on the internet and WOW! Why do we celebrate Christmas?? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm still looking in my Bible for scripture on Christmas or even the celebration of Jesus's birthday. I just know if HE wanted us to keep this holy, he would instruct us to do this. Afterall, certainly HE would share with His 12 disciples..right?

Funny, how watching the History channel this evening, there was a segment on Paganism.....hmmm my "wheels are still spinning on this" Please please share with me your thoughts.
