Christmas Day 2022

Christmas Day was a quiet, relaxing day at home.  Hubby got a roaring fire going in the fire place, we watched Christmas movies, and ate leftovers - lots of leftovers! 

My family was very good to me with lovely gifts, some of which were tea related.  A tea-themed sweatshirt from Izzy...

Tea from Ellie in a Queen Elizabeth commemorative tin...

Tea and chocolate covered cherries from Landon...  [They do know what their Nana likes!]

In addition to tea, Cardinal gifts were dominant...  two cardinal pillow covers

A cardinal figurine [I already had the lantern], cardinal table topper, and eight plaid/cardinal salad plates.  I can hardly wait to do a tablescape using them.  I ordered Lenox cardinal napkin rings on E-bay today.

I'm going to be warm and cozy this winter with a flannel sheet set [which is already on our bed], two nightgowns, and two pairs of slippers.

My Seiko watch has been faithful for over 15 years [and is still ticking], but the technicians at the clinic where I get my laser knee treatments laugh at its small face and wonder how I can possibly see the time.  ;-)  So my hubby got me a new watch for Christmas.  I'm not high tech so I didn't want a Smartwatch.  I'm very happy with my new Citizen watch with a larger face, and look forward to showing it off at Pain Free Life Clinic!  ;-)

I also received Amazon, Olive Garden, and Red Lobster gift cards.  So many lovely tangible gifts, but the greatest 'Gift' of all is God's Son, Jesus, the Reason for the season!
