Are you ready for Christmas (if you celebrate it)?
I feel like I take one step forward and get knocked back four.
Terry and I put our tree up and decorated it,
but I still haven't found the doves from our wedding reception that go on the top.
And I haven't wrapped a gift yet.
Ready-or-not Christmas will come, and we will have fun.
I already have a bottle of champagne chilling.

Thank goodness for Rain's Thursday Art Date and Nicole's Friday Face Off,
because I haven't had time for an original thought in days.
I hope to return to more posts on the North very soon.
I am feeling better than I have in some seventeen months.
I can't believe the difference! 🎉 🎉🎉 🎉🎉
Rain's theme this week is Gift Wrap.
I haven't much to work with, but here are four photos.
The first is Terry's sister and brother-in-law's Christmas tree last year.
We were piling gift-wrapped packages under the tree on Christmas Eve,
getting ready for Christmas morning.

It was just the two of us, but we had lots of fun.

We manage to get together one way or another.
