Update ...
I, and so much of the world is on lock-down.
How are you doing?
Today I thought I would ask some questions,
and see if anyone would respond?
Do you have a Christmas or holiday tree?
Do you have holiday decorations up yet?
Do you have a favorite decoration? why?
Do you, or will you send cards?
Will you stay home for Christmas and the holidays?
What is your wish for 2021?

Artist/friend Norma answered earlier.
Asked if she had a tree up, she said:
"Next week. I always wait until after Bob's birthday, Dec.3."
I said: "That's so nice that you wait till after Bob's birthday."
Then I remembered when I was little, I was told that since
my birthday was so near to Christmas,
we would wait & celebrate both together.
One gift for both on Christmas day.

When I grew up I wanted to wait
till after my birthday
to decorate, since it was still 2 weeks prior.
But now I have already started to decorate, in a tiny way ...

Yes we have a tree and it is up. I like it up early but I take it down right after Christmas. My favorite decoration is some vintage things from my mom and mother in law.
I have already sent some cards out. I have a few more to do. I'll send you one.
We always stay home for Christmas. Hopefully my son and daughter in law can come over this year.
My wish for 2921 is to not be afraid to go out and be around people.
Merry Christmas Jacki. Thanks for this blog which I read first every morning.

Thanks, Julie, It is fun for me to picture what different people are doing during this time. Thank you for your response, eight so far.
Thanks, John. I played with this one for a while last night. She does have a great face. I didn't think about the Christmas colors at the time as tey came from the postage stamps. I was happy with it in the end.
