Happy Monday, GeeBee.

I thought that I was finished with my shopping except
for a couple of stocking stuffers and some last minute stuff from the grocer,
but when I checked an Amazon order, one item is not scheduled to ship until after Jan 1st.
So .... out I go again. :)

Have a blessed Monday.

Good morning, Johnn.
Thank you for "A Day of Faith". It is wonderful.

You and Nan are in my prayers.
Praying that a job for Nan will open up Jan 2nd.
Also praying for a little Global Warming for the north and northeast.

Have a Blessed Monday.

It is a sad day today. Three months ago I made reservations to go to CA and be with my son and his family for Christmas. Plane, hotel, car rental, kennel for the furry kid. Two weeks ago, I mailed all my Christmas clothing to CA by UPS to avoid any problem with luggage.

Flight was cancelled this morning, because of a snow storm moving into Flagstaff, AZ. It will be snowing everyday until the 27th.

Yorkie is sad.

Thank you for reminding us.

Have a Blessed week, Meg.

Happy Birthday to Pamela.

3 more days ... I should be finished after today.
Two days to take inventory and then wrap and bag.

Wishing you and yours a Joyous and Blessed Christmas, Polly.

In celebration of Christmas Tree Light Day, the first Christmas lights:

By 1900, Edison was advertising miniature versions of his electric light bulb for use on trees in popular magazines. The following advertisement appeared in the November 28, 1900 edition of Scientific American Magazine. Notice that Edison's advertising offered to rent the light bulbs for Christmastime use!
 

As mentioned earlier, public distribution of electricity was not yet common, those living outside of a major city who desired one of these wonderful trees had to supply their own electric power, typically from household generators. In addition, the services of a " wireman" had to be obtained, as few people were willing or even able to undertake the job of hand wiring all of the lights on the tree themselves. Electric socket outfits had not been invented, and it was a tedious task at best to wire all of the lights necessary to illuminate a room sized tree. At this point, electrically lighted trees were a novelty for the rich, and, although intrigued, the public was not yet convinced of the true practicality of electric trees.

I'm so sorry, Yorkie.
Would it be possible for you to drive?
Will you and the furry kid be alone on Christmas? :-(
