What could be more festive than anticipating the generosity of Santa during this season not only for the kids of course but also for the grown ups dreaming about everything on their wish list. After all the years I'm still waiting for him to drop down the chimney with a surprise on Christmas. It's the kid in me I guess. LOL! Great capture Mary. #10457680Nadia Paul December 10, 2012

I pulled out my pre-decorated pink tree, from a plastic bag in the freezing cold garage, and Christmas was set up in ten minutes. Or five! HeeHee...There was a day it took me days, and box loads and the house was a fantasy world to walk through.I miss that but I do not miss all the effort it took. I have no women here to ever help me so in time the fun was gone.
These days having snow outside and a fire burning, (and the little pink tree), seems to do fine for us all here. :)))
I love this sweet image and I love you too! I hope your Christmas was Merry for Mary!
Love, Pommy Doodle #10511632
