Ruby Tuesday: Waiting For Santa


I will be spending Christmas with Granddaugher Lily and her Mommy and Daddy. This is Lily's first Christmas. As a matter of fact she will celebrate her first birthday on the 29th! Yes, right after Christmas. More presents. And, her Mommy's (my daughter's) birthday is the day before on the 28th which is also mine and Hubs 34th wedding anniversary this year! Did you keep all that straight! As you see we have a lot of celebrating to do this year.
Here's hoping all of you have a very Happy Holiday no matter which one you celebrate and I wish you Many Blessings for a Wonderful New Year.
Late Monday afternoon as I'm typing this there are eight, yes eight, deer in my backyard. Hmmm.....maybe Lily and I won't have to wait for Santa as long as we thought!
Merry Christmas!

I'll be posting again and checking in with everyone after the New Year. In the meantime, for more Ruby Tuesday participants please join them and Mary by clicking on the badge at the top of my post.

Happy birthdays to all of you. We're waiting for pictures of these celebrations now.
Good idea to offer us the vision of Santa's chair! Waht a wonderful tree and decorations, Carletta.

Maybe those deer have Santa hid somewhere close.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. I will also be celebrating with my first grandchild, his 1st Christmas too.

Carletta: I must say that is certainly enough deer to pull the sled. Did you name them yet?

Raven said...

Merry Birthdays and Anniversaries. I hope Christmas was wonderful. Looking forward to baby pictures and other good things. My internet service was down for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and half of today (Friday). Eeeek.

Okay, sounds like you guys need a scorecard just like I do. December brings me four birthdays in the family (my niece's is the 29th too!), three more of friends plus Christmas. No anniversaries though.
