Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

I hope that everyone had a wonderful christmas!
I did - lots of time with friends and family :) always the best.
One thing that we did not do, which i m sure there is still time - but we never went to go look at christmas lights this year, something that i've always done - (i think there was like one or two years that we did not do that...) but  Something that i always enjoy doing... sipping on hot chocolate and riding around in the car, with christmas music tuned into the radio as we ride around neighborhoods commenting on how we like how they did the lights, and the color combinations and such.

I usually make gifts every year, however - this year i did not. i only made a few people gifts (ornaments) - everyone else i did buy gifts for.

Ill be making some more ornaments soon (my grandma broke hers)

I have made a couple of different ornaments- Ive made ornaments in decoupage - one year i got some clear glass bulbs and put glitter on it, with peoples initials, this year, I got some white ornaments and got a black paint pen - and wrote a scripture on each ornament (i did the same scripture for everyone.) - i did a scripture verse about Jesus' birth.
I think next year ill do something along the same lines, but make it a little better.
those that got the ornaments really enjoyed them, and really couldnt wait to hang them on their tree... (until my grandma dropped hers and it broke... she put her hands to her face and was like "OH NO"-- but then i said - dont worrry - ill make you another one it doest take but about 5 minutes. she was quickly releived. haha. it was funny.)))

So - whos keeping watch of the after christmas sales???
I know that Kohls is haveing an after christmas blitz clearance --- I know some goods stuff on sale - i know i got a sweater a few weeks ago (for $13)... now sweater is 9.99.
Target has some stuff on sale... thats all i've really even looked at today. :)

Have a safe New year, Everyone!
