Christmas went well

My mom and Charlie, taking a break from Christmas cooking.

Mischief and mayhem enjoying a holiday feast.

The human's version of the meal.

Gathering together (my side of the family).

Me and my husband at Protestant Christmas Eve service (church of the highlands).

Charlie and me resting after the festivities. We have been in a partially hibernated state since the 26th. At least he's cozy! I got to go to Catholic Mass yesterday, and wouldn't have been able to without support from my parents and sister. Thanks again!

Happy holidays, everyone!

Merry holiday swapaganza!

My beautiful friends on ravelry and I decided to do swap boxes for the holidays, since we all celebrate different things, and we all need to watch our budgets.

Here's what I got:

(First off, awesome tape!)

OMG, they're handmade!!! Aren't they the cutest?!?

Charlie sniffing the gorgeous tiedied stocking, next to his "Sunday Best" supplies bag. It's my favorite color!!! Thank you!

This yarn is so soft, and smells delicious! It came with a pattern made just for it especially!

I found some curry chocolate and ginger chocolate hiding in the toe of the stocking!!!! After devouring half the bar, I've decided ginger and chocolate is the best chocolate in the world. :D

That's not the last of it either, she filled up every inch of the box:

She made all these gorgeous snowflakes, with the tiniest stitches I've ever seen! They must have taken all year to make!!!!

THANK YOU, S/babyfirefly!!!!

I'm blown away by the love you sent me.

Happy holidays!!!!!

An early Christmas!

On an early day of Christmas, my sister gave to me:

Some earrings and a cup from Germany!

On the next day of Christmas, my best friend gave to me:

A zebra cowl to support my EDS!

On the next day of Christmas, my SIL presented me

With a crochet Bible tote and scarf to keep me warm!

Then the mailman rang my doorbell, and said 

"Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!"

What's this? My other best friend/sister sent me a surprise!

What could it be?!?!

A knit cap, and the worlds best notepad, with a sweet handmade card.

Thank you guys!!!!! You're way too generous and sweet!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!

Just a reminder
