Happy Holidays!

I know it's a bit early, but I don't know when I'll have a decent amount of time before Christmas to play online. My parents are staying with us until after New Year's- when they will rent a condo. Once their house in VA sells, they will buy a house. Anyway, we are also going to Lake Tahoe for Christmas this year (my brothers arranged a family getaway- it should be interesting!) So I wanted to leave my holiday wishes with you all just in case I don't get another chance...

You did me a great favor, Springie, as I was thinking of sending my own early wishes to everyone, too, just in case! I wish you and your family all the best and do enjoy your holidays! Many thanks for sharing your lovely pictures with us!

Again, the very best of wishes to everyone and to all your loved ones! May all have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year! Life's been more than hectic for me these last few weeks, between increased cake work (following a small advertisement and due to the season!), family and Dad's commitments and so on, so it really means a lot to me, that of letting you know that, as the song goes, you are always in my mind! Tongue Am just looking forward for a small break, hopefully some day soon, in order to catch up with things here!

I'm glad that if things have been hectic for you, Marie, that it has been because of making cakes, and not other (more stressful) things. I hope you are able to take a moment to enjoy the season with your children, as I know you like to do. We are thinking of you as well. Huggles

Even though I really need a holiday right now and am looking forward to a few weeks off, I really feel like I don't have time for one at the moment.

13 days away and I have not started my christmas shopping. I imagine I am going to be one of those last minute shoppers this year in the store on December 24 hunting for things to buy.

But they still need to give you some idea of what they want.

Exactly, and it is kind of hard to find a gift for 70+ year old parents who seem to have everything. I had thought about getting tickets to one of the theatre performances going on in town, but considering they are not in town over the winter that would not work. And who knows if the shows would still be playing in the spring when they return. Tickets are not available for that far in the future.

For my brother it is a little easier since he moved into a new home just over a year ago, but it would help to know the colour scheme in his house. And since he rarely relays information of that sort (any information for that matter) it makes it harder.


EW, at the moment telepathic abilities would really be helpful.

We've got the same problem with the in-laws, so we're looking into giving them a weekend at a B&B in my father-in-laws home town for the next time they visit there.

I suggested Jeff Dunham tickets as he'll be in Atlanta 9 Jan, but then they'd have to drive into Atlanta (they live about 40 miles north of Atlanta) and they hate to do that.

I only write about telepaths, unfortunately.
