                                                      Christmas eve events were so unexpected.  The weather changed drastically shortly after dinner time and the winds were howling at 50 to 60 miles an hour. We heard a crash just before 10pm and John went to check it out. I got worried when he did not return and saw him trying to get in the house.

                                                      The Santa sleigh and all reindeer had been blown down and he went to fix then when he tripped over an electric cord in the dark and his face hit the curb and the street. He was bleeding so badly It scared me to death and I could not get his blood to stop. He put on his mask and drove himself to the hospital leaving me home  to worry because of the amount of blood and the pain he was experiencing.

                                                      He did not get back from the hospital until after 4am. He has a lot of stitches and pain in his hand arm back and chest. They did give him an Rx for the pain but we had to wait until this morning to get that filled as no drug stores are open on Christmas here.

                                                      I sure hope you all had a much better Christmas than we did this year.

                                                        Not an easy thing to think of these colors this time of year.

                                                        I had recently purchased some things from Very Many Tubes (special Christmas edition of elements) and thought I would play around with those. I also used eight different  papers from Eyeinspire and Mein Lila Park. I made the garland and the flat ribbon myself.

                                                            This is the year to stay home for the holidays ..as the old song goes. There is no place like home for the holidays no matter how far away you go.

                                                            I used pieces of two Christmas kits

                                                            2) Merry Little Christmas -Eyeinspire

                                                                The Gaelic Mudslide is a brown colored cocktail made from Bailey’s Irish cream, vodka, chocolate and crushed ice, and served in a chilled cocktail glass.

                                                                It will satisfy that chocolate craving 🙂
