it, every year....

I wasn't too sure about it...

It's become part of The Family.

I brought this little Deer in... the house... just before Christmas...last year...

now...

I can't imagine...

Christmas...

Therese...

{and...her Darling Husband... and Sister in Law... : ) }

Today....

who...it seems... is my Christmas... Soul Sister...

I...had to post these images... to show her... we are Both...

Insane... : )

{but, then... All The Best.. People Are! }

It was my Pleasure... revisiting...

Christmas, past...

{Therapy... Blessing.... : ) }

It...seems... like it was a lifetime, ago... when I sat... and reflected... at Christmas....

oh my...

It's been such a long day...

I...am so...very tired....

It..was a long night, last night....

with very little sleep...

I'm running on fumes... these days... to say the very least.

was a most...

Beautiful...

Gift.
