A Little Bit Christmasy Everyday

My friend Christy knows me well. She gave me the 12 days of Christmas puzzle advent calendar. It has 12 little 80 piece Christmas puzzles. I know technically the 12 days of Christmas are from Christmas on to epiphany, but I feel like any 12 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas count.

So now that the house is all decorated I am allowing myself the joy of doing one little puzzle whenever I feel like it. I am not looking at the picture of the puzzle since half the pieces are edge pieces it is not that hard to do. In fact I did this little one today in under five minutes. It is less decadent that spending hours on a bigger puzzle, but just as satisfying.

I also was able to obtain a Holley Broughton Original Santa Cookie Jar, jazzed up in only the way Holley can do. She texted me this morning and I was able to run over to her glitter filled workshop to see all the other cute decorations she is making.

I am thankful I was able to get one because as soon as she posts one on Facebook they are sold. She gave me a preview of what she is working on for Garden club so fair warning it is going to be fabulous of course. I expect big bidding for any Holley creation. I hope all the other Garden Club members are thinking creative thoughts when it comes to their auction items.

It’s time for me to go turn on all the lights to shine the happy into the dark of winter. I got two pillar candles for my outdoor lanterns and they have a remote control with a feature where I can chose for them to be on for just two or four hours. I wish everything Christmas came with a remote control, oh wait it does.
