I love taking part in Secret Santa gift exchanges…it’s not so much about the receiving for me, it’s all about the giving! I always end up spending far more then the minimum but hey, it’s Christmas! This year, I have actually taken part in three gift exchanges…all very different! The first one off the rank […]
I came across this video for the first time during the year…thought I would share it here for some Christmas cheer and because, well, I love it! I also have no idea why it took me so long to see it, although I was a young child when it came out. Back in the 70s, […]

For last week’s My Friday Five, I shared my new collection of Christmas headbands…today, I am continuing the silliness with five Christmas t-shirts. And I have to tell you..it isn’t easy to find Christmas t-shirts that are not too novelty, and that are actually designed for the female shape! I looked everywhere, and finally found […]
