I remember as a young child we would all (my 2 brothers and myself) sit on the huge (so it seemed then) hearth at mom n dads so that dad could "try" get that perfect picture, you know though the only thing missing was mom n dad :(
we would do that then mom had a string that went all the way across, we got to put all the Christmas cards on the string one at a time....it was so cool to do that. Now mom just piles them in a pile I told her last night we should get the string out and put them across the hearth (mom wasn't feeling well last night so we didn't do it)
After hanging Christmas cards on that string for what seemed to be an eternity back then, we all got a special treat (hot chocolate with melted peppermint in it YUM YUM YUM)
Then Dad would always read us a Christmas story (sometimes I think he made them up as he went but hey it was all good and fun)
Hope everybody is having a great week and that your Christmas shopping is complete, if you have to go out shopping please be careful..its like a zoo out there.
Blessings
