I just got a lovely text from my niece and thought I’d share the sentiment with those of you who also think time is zooming by far too fast.
“The Griswolds went shopping and abandoned Clark to the attic on the 23rd and it’s not even the 23rd yet.”
Brilliant.
I’m pressing the hold button, firmly, and am intending to spend the day soaking up all the joy and magic and eggnog I can.
Before I go, here’s a wee little gift for you. Can you guess which box it’s in?
One of Francine’s creative masterpieces …
Just a reminder that, as with this painting, life is an unfinished canvas just waiting to be filled in and colored.
Wishing you and yours the very best of the Holiday Season. I’ll see you back here bright and chipper in the New Year.

It is hard to believe Christmas is now behind us for another year! Golly. I hope yours was very special and that we get together before too long in the New Year.

Yes, all in due time. Thanks for popping by and for leaving a comment, Beemie. All the very best to you and yours for 2018.
Molly Stevens says
Lovely, Kelly. I, too, am taking in as much of the joy of the season as I can. It’s not over yet! We don’t take down our tree until epiphany. Merry Christmas!
kellylmc says
Thanks so much Molly. Wishing you the very best for 2018 and please also give my best wishes to Boomer!
Katy says
I’m reading this back on work on January 2 and it was a much needed infusion of cheer, both the message and the picture of Francine’s masterpiece.
Thank you, Kelly!
kellylmc says
You’re very welcome, Katy! Glad it helped.
Christine Carter says
Ah, that Francine is SO TALENTED. I can stare at that picture for an hour… those little people, the detail, and that gorgeous church! Well, I see a church- but it might be a house along with the other one. Ha! Just a beautiful painting and a beautiful sentiment you shared here, Kelly. I hope you had a beautiful eggnog filled holiday, my friend! 2018 is the year of THE BOOK, right? 🙂
kellylmc says
Yes, it is a church – good spotting, Chris. I had a verrrrry eggnog filled holiday, so much so that my pants are now tighter than tight. Thank you for your kind wishes and support. I really do appreciate it.
