Christmas... Everywhere. Always.

Didn't get much done... today.

Pretty Icy out, yet.

Sure need to get to the store, but...  the Ford 'Fleet'... is encapsulated in Ice.

yeah...

Stayin' Put, seemed more inviting.

; )

Took a stroll upstairs, into Daughter, Liz's... old room.

: )

When Liz moved out... on her own, John, and I... repainted, turned her room... into, what's become...

Another... Year Round, 'Christmas' Room.

: )

We used to wrap 'Christmas' there.

well...

John... wrapped most of 'Christmas', over the last several years, before he went away.

: )

He was a Much Better Wrapper, than me.

John had Much Experience with Paper, and Tape.

; )

Wouldn't Even venture a Guess.... at How Many Vehicles John, masked off... over the years.

He was an Artist.

: )

Love... Vintage Christmas.

<3

Bought the above... turn of the last Century... handmade Christmas Stockings, many years ago, at an Auction.

I don't... usually... allow 'want', 'desire'... to get in the way... of Business Sense.

but...

when it came to this Darling Pair of Vintage Christmas Stockings....

with All of Their History, documented, and attached, also... 'vintage'.

; )

Yep...

my

 Bidding Number, Stood Very Strong.

; )

Some, would probably think I lost my mind,

 {many.... most likely did, that day... at The Auction}

with my Winning Bid.

: )

Here's the deal... I've Never Once Regretted the Price... paid, for those Christmas Stockings.

<3

Folks spend a lot of  money... on things, I can't understand, either.

I... don't go to the Casino... or, require 'New'... anything.

; )

Don't drive fancy new cars, or wear fancy shoes... clothes... or have collection's of jewelry.

I, don't pay to get my hair, or nails done...

so...

every now, and then... 

I... may have stepped over The Line, at an Auction.

; )

{Old...'Soulfulness'... is my weakness. <3}

There's So Much 'Peg'... in The Christmas Room.

<3

again...

So Many Faces.

<3

The Kids...

John, 

Dear Friends, and Family.

<3

So Much... of Peg's Amazing Art, is displayed in Liz's old room, with Christmas.

: )

<3

Christmas...

Everywhere.

Always.

<3

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{Love... The Betty Garrett, and Red Skelton version... of 

'Baby, It's Cold Outside'.

<3

It makes me Laugh!!!

: )

Can't wait... to post it This... time of Year. <3 

Heard a couple of years ago... the other version's of this tune, were being pushed to be banned.

: (

oh my.

Wonder if 'They' saw 'this' version? }

<3
