Bah Humbug to getting up today! The bed was all cozy and warm, and I sure didn't want to get my naked body out of it!!!! But to my delight it is only to be a two-day work week this week, and next week, a three-day work week. That's all the Christmas gift I need. I'll drink to that. This week is always a favorite of mine...it will be extra relaxing...we only have 5 coming for Christmas supper, and I have three friends in on Christmas eve for the "family recipe" of eggnog. Otherwise, I will take my baked goodies, candles and greens around to friends and neighbors this week. Let them know they are cherished. It's nice to let people know they are friends., so as all of you are, I feel friends too. For to be without friends is a serious form of poverty.
A wonderful Mood Board. I trust that there will be a special gift for the Lumbersexual, should you wander that far afield.
ReplyDelete(Very happy you're healing well!)
I didn't touch with the lumber sexual but I haven't seen him in some time. I think he was out of town last time I was in New Hope.
DeleteWell.... 🥹
DeleteNot to worry....I'm sure I will help him with his wood again sometime soon!!!! wink!
DeleteThe bear hatted dogs don't look too thrilled. Meanwhile the lady four pics up looks like she is wearing Madeline Khan's hairdo from Young Frankenstein plus a few Christmas tree baubles.
ReplyDeleteThat is actually Elsa Lanchester who was the original Bride of Frankenstein. Somebody doctored the wig up to make it look like a tree. Lol!
DeleteMea culpa
DeleteI'm with you on the Bah, humbug! part of Monday. I hope Christmas is a great one for you.
ReplyDeleteLove this mood.
ReplyDeleteYou need to retire. I slept in, met our family for lunch, and took a long walk around the city. Meanwhile, you created another exceptional Mood Board!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your settlement Mitchell, unfortunately I have a way to go to I can retire. This job thing just gets in the way of my social scene, LOL
DeleteI love the dogs in their knit caps, the festive macarons, the snowy hills (!), the Bride's new hairdo, and the twinkly bokey effect tree! You always find such unique and beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your house looks a bit like the Ghost of Christmas Present's parlour on the day! Jx
ReplyDeleteIt sure will when I can start eating again!
DeleteIt must be Christmas Up There across the Mason- Dixon Line... Happy Holidays To You Mistress
ReplyDeleteDogs in bonnets, hunks in longjohns and Vanessa Williams.
ReplyDeleteMerry Merry Christmas, Maddie!
As Dame Julie Andrews sang; "These are a few of my favorite things".
DeleteA lovely pick "n" mix! I choose, the doggies in hats, the mistletoe paper wrapped gifts,the marshmallow topped hot chocolate and finally, the out of focus colourful tree lights! Thank you. Xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes out of focus pictures are the best!
DeleteA perfect Mood board for this week! That version of I Wonder Why I Wander by Vanessa Williams always makes me tear up. She sings it so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the guy in the red union suit, lying exposed, is on your Christmas list?
ReplyDeleteWonderful Mood Board!!!!!!!! I would love to see your family recipe for eggnog!
ReplyDeleteI think if you type a dog in my search box at the top of the blog, the recipe will probably come up in the post that I did it in.
DeleteLUV Elsa's Xmas hairdo, the decorated macarons and those gorgeous china cups full of hot chocolate and marshmallows! Thank you for the lovely card, Maddie, it arrived yesterday -- yes, Virginia, those Canada Post dog-teams are running late this year!
ReplyDeleteI mailed them extra early since I didn't know how long it would take. Of course, the cards I wanted never showed up. It's been a season dear. Isn't that doctored photo of the Bride a hoot?!?
DeleteLuv me some Christmas mood board :)
ReplyDeleteLuv the desserts, the glass ornaments, and the Christmas trees.
The jock dusted with snow reminds me of a Holiday party I entertained at in Palm Springs. Flocking and body glitter do wonders :)
