My favoutites

Wow!

Although I enjoyed being spoiled by various folk - two of my gifts stood out!

I knew the first would be good since it was wrapped as a tiny flat parcel. Often these hold jewelry but this one was even BETTER. My little friend Zoe had written me  poem. One too good to keep for myself:

"Every year at Christmas time
There's not a sign of snow,
Instead we spend our Yuletide days
In the sun's warm, cheery glow.


We have the best of Christmas things
The lights, the gifts, the bells
And "snowbirds" who come en masse
To fill our beach hotels.


The glorious weather fits right in
With our happy Christmas mood
And we can also walk and run
Without having to be snow-shooed!


So don't feel bad for your 'location' for
We have no snow or ice,
We think our sunny Christmas here
Is a holiday paradise!"


The second favorite was left for me by my friend, Gill, who is celebrating Christmas with her son and his family in America. It is a HUGE baking book. I think it will take the rest of my life to work through it and discover all its treats. It is amazing!

Thanks to all who made my Christmas so special!(Just because your gift hasn't featured here does NOT mean I don't appreciate it!!)
