Happy Holidays From Me to You!

Happy Holidays everyone! No matter what you're faith system I hope you have a joyful holiday season! I know we are.

Our Charlie Brown Christmas Tree! 

I've had so much fun this season wrapping gifts for everyone. Usually I hate gift wrapping, but this year it was different. Maybe just  buying my own wrapping paper made the difference, but who knows. This is also the first Christmas for Husband and Me. I'm so excited.

I can't wait for everyone to unwrap their gifts this year. The best gift Husband and I got for one another was our new baby bird!

 She's been with us for two weeks and is super adorable. She's about 12 weeks old and "peeps" along to the radio all the time. Getting her was an adventure. Husband and I drove almost two hours away to pick her up from the only parrotlet breeder in our state. We adventured out to the country side and went to a smaller sized house with over 25 birds, 3 cats, and 2 small dogs. They know how to raise baby birds though.

Beaker is such a clown. She loves to swing on her swing and nest into my hair and go to sleep.

She likes hanging out on Husband's shoulder while he studies and plays his video game.

Best gift ever.

So Husband, Baby Beaker and I wish you a happy holiday season!

Christmas Musings and Gifts for the Writer in Your Life

We all know Christmas is coming up. If you haven't already been bombarded by all the Christmas related decorations and commercials then you must live under a rock. I don't know about where you all live, but Halloween day in my town the local radio station that plays the Christmas music every year started up and Target and Walmart raced each other to put up cheery banners reminding you that Lay Away is available.

Am I a Grinch? With a heart "two sizes too small"? No. I think I'm just sane. I refuse to decorate the apartment for Christmas before Thanksgiving.

BUT... that doesn't mean I haven't gotten some shopping done. I like to beat the holiday rush and I hate fighting the traffic that surrounds all the shopping centers. So yes, I get my shopping done early.

For myself included. And by that I mean I make my wish list and send it out. Usually it gets ignored, but that's fine. It's still fun to make.

I thought I would share with you all my new favorite place to shop online.
Link for gifts for writers and readers. There is even some gifts for Castle fans and Fairy Godmothers. It is so much fun. I can spend hours on this web page laughing at all the funny designs they have.

So, can't find that perfect gift for the writer or reader in your life? Then look no further than this blog. Christmas shopping can be fun if you know how to do it right.
