some travel, some fun, all me
This is, hands down, my favorite Christmas song. The original version of course was by my birthday soul mate, Mr. John Lennon. But I love The Corrs and this version is so excellent it gives me chills.
For you, with EIGHT days til Christmas ~ So this is Christmas, War is over

I REALLY want to make these!! Giving these cookies to the families that I teach would be the perfect gift for Christmas! Too bad we can’t make them for a class project but I think that might be a bit too much…. and messy.
I will let you know how they go but for a great site to make them perfect go here. She makes it look so nice. Wish me luck!
What I hope my finished product will look like. Hopefully they will not end up in the Pinterest Fail box. (Unlike hers.)

Who remembers this one? Mr. Snow Miser? Mr. Heat Miser?
This really brings back the memories of living in Madison, WI in the duplex on Offshore Dr. This is definitely a classic, they don’t play this anymore. Is that showing my age?
Snow Miser is a character from the 1974 special The Year Without a Santa Claus. In the special, Snow Miser controlled cold weather all over the Earth; his archnemesis is his brother, Mr. Heat Miser. Santa woke up with a cold and his doctor tells Santa to take a holiday because nobody cares about Christmas anymore. So it is up to too elves, Jingle and Jangle to find people who still believe in Mr. Claus. And somewhere along the way Mrs. Claus gets joined up to fight the good fight and return Christmas!
And in eager anticipation …… Mr. Snow Miser.
Isn’t this picture dreamy? I envision myself on a Christmas sleigh ride with Felix going to some place romantical. And then arriving at our log cabin with a fire blazing away in the fireplace. Ahhhhhhh….. one day.
Hey, all you need is a little purple tinsel around your outside restaurant display and we are all in the Christmas mood! And enjoy the paella!
Here I am again! Posting every day for Christmas. I even put up Christmas lights outside! Maybe that will be my post for tomorrow because it’s already 10 pm and I am too lazy to go and take a picture.
Do you know I have five cats? Well, at the moment it is five. We were up to seven earlier this year but RIP Fatty and Crazy Cat. And then you just never knew when some sweet kitten shows up at my door. I saw the CUTEST fluffy grey one in the backyard just the other day. Made me want to run and grab him and make him mine. NO. STOP. I cannot have another cat. No, really, I love them and they are so cute but seriously five is plenty. Ahhh, but you just never know do ya?
I love this guy. I need to make a santa hat for my cats, that will be awesome! Working on that next…..
Happy Hanukkah! December 8 begins the Jewish holiday. I am not Jewish but wanted to wish my friends a happy Hanukkah!
I also found this quite amusing. Happy Chaka Khan – Ukah!
This is MUCH more exciting than my post from yesterday. Trust me. Take the hottest tune in the past few months, add some Christmas lights to the beat and viola! Instant magic.
If I had the time or patience to do this to my house in Mallorca I would – AND it would be the hit of the entire island!! Not too many people get that crazy with light and decorations here. But I am going to put up a few tomorrow to get in the spirit. Granted and sadly, it won’t be Gangnam Style but it will be festive!
And now, your Christmas Light Show – Gangnam Style.
