Me--I was tired the afternoon of Christmas day! My mom has had Christmas Day dinner for all my married life, and before. She said 50 years-(I'm 60, btw) and when she over worked her arm and couldn't lift anything, I was glad to have people come to my house! BUT, I'm a quick learner and when my SIL said she'd rather cook than drive an hour for dinner, I said she could do it next year! She had offered this year, too, but I really wanted a Christmas dinner at my house! Happy New Year.♥♫
I know exactly how you and the 'mouse' feel. lol..it's been hectic but fun. I hope you had a great time! I hadn't realized he anonymous comments now go on the spam filter...but that's ok...99.9% of anonymous entries are spam....I'll have to change my comment intro too....there is always something of interest here. Sorry I haven't visited in awhile but I haven't been blogging...other things yes...but I got to get back to the blogging soon....it refreshes me!...smiles, Maria
Hope you are feeling more rested now that it's the Sixth Day of Christmas...Looking forward to the New Year and fresh beginnings. All the best to you in 2012!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas though may be exhausting but filled with fun, and wishing you a joyful New Year.
Sometimes, the holidays can be exhausting, but so worthwhile when all is said and done. ENjoy your rest now and best wishes for a Happy New Year.
I love Christmas but it is hard to sustain. I love the week between Christmas and New Years. Everything is more relaxed.
Nice to clean the house up at some point and get back to normal and dig in for the dark cold days remaining. And hope for no ice storms.
I know that feeling so well! Happy New Year Denise. A x
