It's Munch Time

Look who dropped by.  It's one of the wild javelina families that often drop by for a visit.

Can't you imagine what this mom is telling her baby?  "Hurry up and get moving".

"What are you looking at?"

Time for you guys to get out of here.

Bye Bye!

Day Twenty Five Christmas Day

Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Glory to the Newborn King!

The last day in the Advent calendar. The time of preparation and advent is over. Christmas Day is here!  I hope you enjoy time with family and friends and have a wonderful and blessed day my friends.
Thank you to all that follow my blog here.  I have met so many wonderful people since I started my blog and am blessed. Thank you also for following along with the advent calendar. It was a fun project.

Blessings,

Danielle

Day Twenty Four

In the Advent Calendar today
is a vintage Santa cookie cutter. That reminds me of something...  I better leave out a plate of cookies and milk for Santa.

Lots to do today and lots to be grateful for.

Our family will gather and have dinner, then we are off to church to celebrate mass and give praise and thanks to God who so richly blesses our family everyday. After church we always open our gifts on Christmas eve.

 Whatever traditions and faith that you celebrate, I want to wish you a blessed holiday and wishes for

love, peace, happiness and joy for you and your family.

Goody Goody Gumdrops

While decorating my little

gumdrop tree, along came this

 little flocked dear deer.

I guess she likes gumdrops too.

I hope you are enjoying

whatever you are doing today.

This weekend is going to be a busy one. Finishing up the shopping and I will be baking some yummy sugar cookies too.

Welcome new friends.  I will be

visiting you soon.

Today in the Advent Calendar

More Vintage Christmas

I thought I would share some more

of my vintage Christmas collection.

I have an old toy red wagon

that I fill with old Santas and toys.

I found this Santa doll and the light up star this year while thrifting.

Doesn't he have a sweet face?

I found these ornaments

in their original box this year.

This vintage Santa was found for a mere $1.99.

I have so much fun getting out all the decorations and finding new ones to add to my growing collection.  It's almost a shame that there is such a short time to enjoy them before they are put away until next Christmas.

Day Fifteen

Day 15 in the Advent Calendar

Four gingerbread men sat on a tray.

The first one said, "Let's run away!"

The second one said, "Where will we run?"

The third one said, "We'll have some fun!"
The fourth one said, "We'll be eaten if we stay."

So the gingerbread men all ran away!

So I wonder. . .

Is that why he looks so sad?

Don't you worry little gingerbread man,

I couldn't eat you if I tried.

But as for your little friends. . .

They better start running.

Bed Head

Look at this sweet little angel.

I think she just rolled

out of bed this morning

looking this way.

Doesn't she even own a comb?

Nope I don't think so.

This angel may have

"bed head" but she is still

as sweet as ever.

Baby it's cold outside.

Brrrrr....

Hope you are warm

Once There Was A Snowman

Author Unknown

Once there was a snowman

Who stood outside the door,

He wished that he could come inside,

And run about the floor.

He wished that he could warm himself,

Beside the fire, so red,

He wished that he could climb

Upon the big white bed.

So he called to the North Wind,

"Come and help me, pray.

For I'm completely frozen,

Standing here all day."

So the North Wind came along,

And blew him in the door,

And now there is nothing left,

But a puddle on the floor!
