With the insanity that began in early November and went right on through to the end of 2016 for me, I knew that I would be having Christmas on Columbus Street this year. There was no energy left for any more travel. I'd overdosed on people and crowds during sequestration and I'd missed Sam desperately. Quality time during the holidays for me and my Sam were at the top of my holiday wish list. It was wonderful to have invitations from friends (I'm usually in St.Louis), but all I wanted to do was nest and nurture on Columbus Street.
Sam had already helped me open our box from Aunt Kathleen. We'd stashed the wrapped gifts under the tree to save for this morning. My favorite spiced rum from Mike and John was already in place. Gifts from Ron and Wilson were still wrapped too, so I saved them as well. I didn't know what to do with myself this morning since I didn't have a door to open on my L'Occitane Advent Calendar that I treated myself to this season.
And then, there's that very special bag from Eric and Stew that holds a bottle of Cahors Clos la Coutale and another Paris-themed book that I opened with them yesterday.
There was still lots of unwrapping to do.
Do you see the themes?
Knowing me, they are hard to miss.
Books and booze make me happy!
Sam and I love those many meeses to pieces!
I'm missing that Mr. Twist!
And, I decided to treat myself to roses to celebrate the holiday and love on Columbus Street some too.
Wishing everyone a magical Christmas morning. The days not over yet-who knows...there could be more magic to come!
Merry Christmas!
Joyeux Noel to you and Tom M too-Missing you guys this season...glad you checked out the post-Much Love, Laury and Sam
