Merry Christmas! I too have scaled down the boxes the decorations. I love your shower curtain display! I have one the same -tree with bells! Oh yes- and the grief... ! The simple things for sure. I watched Miracle on 34th today while wrapping presents. Be well my substack buddy!
Your posts always make me feel good—so thank you, Jan! This one is particularly important given the "consumerism" built into this holiday. I have too many Christmas movies that I cherish to pick just one, but Miracle on 34th Street is right up there!
The best of holidays and much good fortune in 2024 to you and Tom!
Yes it’s the small things, always.. I like the idea of decorations on the shower curtain and making it festive in spite of some work in progress. Merry Christmas, Jan!
Merry Christmas. The ornaments on the shower curtain are particularly clever.
We have two big celebrations coming up in our home that are our annual traditions and involve family and friends. On Christmas Day we will be following an ancient Jewish tradition. Going out to see a movie and have Chinese food.

I have often had that very thought about young persons and kittens:
Everything in the world is new and wonderful to them.
We adults could learn much from them.
Really, we never grow old until we lose our sense of wonder. Until then, the body may age but it doesn’t grow old.
Merry Christmas from one central Idaho mountain valley to another.

They have to take you in.” - Robert Frost
Hope you had a nice holiday! What a great post to end the year with and reminds us all of those warm childhood memories. Happy New Year!
