Just a short post as I wanted to wish you all happy holidays and wishing all your hopes and dreams come to fruition.
I know it’s a busy time for many of us getting ready to celebrate with family and probably over-indulge in goodies and drinks but I know we all deserve this time to let loose and enjoy the people in our lives. We spend many of our waking hours here online with our readers and friends, so use this time to catch up with the ones who put up with our absence throughout much of the year as we work hard in our virtual lives. This is a time to live, laugh and love and remember all that we’re grateful for. Relax and prepare for the year ahead.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah and Happy Holidays to all that celebrate their own individual customs and holidays.
Below you will find a tiny video clip I amateurishly made. In my pursuit to get more involved with video in the new year, I thought I’d experiment with this little message for you.
Thank you for your great-hearted greetings. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you and your family, who (I think) observe both!

Thanks a bunch Marian, wishing the same to you and yours. Yes, I believe I get the best of both worlds, lol. After all, I fought hard to get myself a tree right? Lol. Ironically, Hannukah falls on Christmas Eve this year! It will be a busy long weekend with hub’s family on the weekend for Christmas and Hannukah latkes at my sister’s home on Boxing day Monday! π

I can tell you’re gearing up for something big! Videos are the big thing now aren’t they? That’s the one thing I get nervous about at the blogger’s bash, which is why I run and hide from Hugh when he wants to video everyone – and hide behind Geoff, lol! Ahh…thank you my dear friend. I’ll be over to your blog a bit later…you won’t believe it, but yesterday all my comments went to spam, again…grrrrrrr. Not a happy bunny. That right after my update problems. So…think it’s okay now, I do hope so. Going to get my post up now…and hope I can actually get on. See you later lovely one… π β€ xoxo

Yes Sher, I feel the same way as you when it comes to speaking in front of the camera, so I thought I’d get my toes wet in those waters. Yup, I hope to take the plunge somehow in the video world too, you know me, lol.

Your site didn’t want to hear my thoughts, so I was bounced. I’ll try again. Today is a hair longer than yesterday. Tomorrow will be longer still. That’s cause to celebrate for me. Video is something I avoid because of hearing–unless I REALLY have to listen. I haven’t figured out how to get around this one, but for now I won’t worry about it. I’ll wish you longer days (one thing that’s guaranteed) and a Blessed Solstice.
