While the shepherds were back in their fields tending their sheep.....and the Wise Men were making their long journey back home .....
Santa flew over Bethlehem, landed on top of the stable, got out and gave baby Jesus a very cute teddy bear. I mean, for real, how does a baby play with gold, frankincense and myrrh??
Of course the other gifts were symbolic and would come in handy for Mary and Joseph's trip back home.
The things that come into my mind !!..... and the things that set them off!! There is really no accounting for it most of the time. 😂
This time though as I have worked these last few weeks, I occasionally brought a Christmas doodad to my desk to keep me happy company while I worked. The little white tree I bought from Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago. Since it was small, it didn't take up much space. Later came the vintage baby Jesus in a manger.... and then Pink Santa showed up.
Many years ago, my husband and I took one of my Grandmothers to the beach. My Grandfather paid the way as he didn't want to go, but he wanted my Grandmother be be able too. Someone asked us, we accepted and away we went to Myrtle Beach. While there, one night we drove to a little town called Calabash where there are many great seafood restaurants. The one we chose to dine in was across the street from a year-round Christmas shop. My grandmother and I could not resist having a look around after supper. I don't remember what else I may have bought at the time, but I did sneak and buy Granny the pink Santa ornament. She love,love, LOVED pink so much that her dining room walls were pink. Later in the evening, when we were back at the condo, I gave it to her. She did all the appropriate OOOOs and AHHHHs and it hung on her Christmas tree every year after that. When she passed, it came back to me, so it has a very sweet sentimental value.
With all of these things that randomly gathered on my desk, yesterday I was rearranging them while I was on hold on a work call and as you can see, the grouping spurred the thought that Santa may have been there too.
That was fun.... right ?
It is Vaca Wednesday and the first day of a week off for some Christmas fun. Wooo Hooo.... yeah, I know, it will be over in a flash, but until it is !.... I'm going to love every second of it.
Hope you are all doing well and that your hearts are happy.
