Have a Wonderful Holiday, and a Happy New Year

Thank you all for your support throughout the year, and all the amazing conversations, thoughtful posts, poems, stories, recipes, and fascinating links that have decorated my life all year.

Here’s a little something that always makes me smile, and tear up as well!

So much for trying to save the wrapping paper…

    The carnage of Christmas! Would you believe that I spent a ton on toys for our new kitten and all she wanted to play with was the wrapping paper?! Hahaha
    Love that commercial, too. It’ll be weeks before I can get that song out of my head! 😂

    That is one of my favorite holiday commercials, Dorothy. Happy New Year to you and your family!

    1. Thank you Pete! It always makes me smile.

  25. What a heartwarming video Dorothy! Isn’t it funny how we scramble to get the house cleaned for the holiday and within an hour it’s a mess? I always say I don’t care how messy it gets once they see it clean. 🤣

  26. Christy B says:

    I don’t save the wrapping paper either, lol! Our recycling bag was overflowing with paper after Christmas 😅 I hope 2024 is starting out great for you, Dorothy 🩷
