gathering of family. For me it is, anyway. I love to have each and every one of my family gathered about. I'm actually glad we do the families separate as it gives me the opportunity to love on each one and give them my undivided attention.
I think I am finally done shopping. I ordered a bunch more stuff yesterday and now I am done. I have returned some things as well. As I like to say, "It is what it is".
I even ordered my very own Christmas gift. Or gifts, I guess I should say. I have always wanted Christmas dishes. A nice set. I use my white china as a rule whenever we have guests over for a meal, but I have always wanted a special set for Christmas. So, yesterday, I saw that Macy's had the Pfaltzgraff (brand) of Winterberry dishes on sale. Still, more than I have ever paid for a set of dishes. But I love that pattern, and I've always wanted Christmas dishes. So I ordered myself a set of 12 of the plates, salad plates, cups, bowls, and glasses. I then went to http://www.pfaltzgraff.com/ and ordered the bread and butter plates (12). I also have ordered - prior to this for me the Bless this house Winterberry platters. They have several other things that I would love to have, and I told my hubby that if the kids ask next year what I want for Christmas, just tell them to pick up some of the Winterberry pattern and I will love to add to my collection. They should be here next week and I can't wait! I hope none arrive broken.
What's your favorite part about Christmas? I love to give gifts and love, and salsa, and whatever else anyone wants. I love to be a part of their lives. I'm realizing more and more that I am getting older and some day I won't be around to share this time. Perhaps that is why I treasure it more. I want to give each one memories to have each year. And I want to have my own memories.
Blessings!
