Last Minute Gifts

-
Hello all of my friends in blog world. How are you all? I'm good, I guess. I know that I have been busy planning and preparing for the holidays and realized yesterday just how close we are to it all being over. I hate the thought of that! I love the music, cheer, and excitement that comes along with the holiday season.

I also realized just how far behind I am! I only have a couple of the gifts that I intended to buy and I have not one thing made that I intended to make. UGH! I will do better next year! I promise I will. I have so many ideas and yet they seem to slip away and I am left with having to purchase items that I did not want too. This weekend will be spent looking for the items to replace those I intended to make.

I also have a friend picking up a gift for the hubby today and that should finalize his shopping once I pick up his scope at Walmart tonight. I know what I am looking for so that helps. No aimless wandering for me. LOL!! That is what he does when he shops and he loves the last minute stuff, which drives me crazy!

I want to share a video with you all today that reminds me of why we celebrate this season and the focus needs to be on the One who anchors our soul. This is a friend of mine, Buddy Mullins. I hope you enjoy!
Enjoy your weekend and I will return next week to share some more exciting farm news.

    Thanks for visiting my blog Carol.
    I'm ahead of myself with the gift process this year. I had all over the Christmas boxes to my out of town children off before the first week of December. We've had a postal disruption in Canada so I was worried about the little ones having prezzies from GrannyW.

    Good for you as far as being ahead of the game. I wish I was but my little one lives next door so I know that she is good on getting her stuff.

    I know! It bothers me that we are so close, too -- not because I'm not on track but because I want it to go on!

    Thanks so much for coming over to my blog today. I know it's a busy season and it's nice to see you there!

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change it.  Thinking an
