Enjoy your evening. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts. ✨✨

This will give anyone a heart attack but it is nice for looking at. 😘

What the heck one small slice will not hurt us one teaspoon for you and one for me. 😎

Last Christmas
Song by Wham!

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me
“Merry Christmas, ” I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you, ” I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now, I know you’d fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)
Oh
Oh, oh, baby
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, ooh, now I’ve found a real love
You’ll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (special!)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year, we’ll give it to someone
I’ll give it to someone special (special!)
So long!

Merry Christmas Darling
Song by Carpenters

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you
Merry Christmas darling
We’re apart that’s true
But I can dream and in my dreams
I’m Christmas-ing with you
Holidays are joyful
There’s always something new
But every day’s a holiday
When I’m near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I’ve just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
Logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year, too
I’ve just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
(Merry, merry, merry Christmas)
(Merry Christmas, darling)

Happy Hanukkah ✨✨

Have a good time. 😜

Club Sheba Holiday Edition ✨✨

@sheba2011

Yay, yay, yay!!!!👍 I wasn’t sure what day you were going for the mam so I have been praying everyday. I just knew it would be A+ and what a wonderful Christmas gift. Please tell me, how many sighs came out of your mouth between the clinic and your car?🤗🥰

My SIL drove to Georgia two weeks ago to help her daughter and grandson with things. She had planned to stay through New Year’s. Got a call yesterday that she drove all day on Monday because her husband here in the ‘burgh was taken to the hospital (he has various problems.) They won’t let her in the hospital because of covid – don’t know if that has anything to do with her being out of state. All our hospitals have been letting one person in for at least a year. More to worry about. Get me through tomorrow.😟

@ Sheba
A Good Afternoon Sheba, it’s a gorgeous day here. Its sunny 76 degrees dry with big white puffy clouds against a bright blue sky. I hope your day is as beautiful, I know your OZ is a bit cooler.

Such wonderful news Sheba, your mammogram came back good. It made me smile and happy. Now you can take it easy, like you said a weight off your shoulders. Enjoy decorating your home and celebrating the holidays.

I started writing this post and had to stop, the Kroger order I placed last night was arriving as I had started. It took me almost two hours to clean and put away 163 pieces at $375.00 dollars. It seems food prices goes up every week.
Thank you for that lovely song, I was singing it as I was wiping down all the groceries. I took a break to eat something and finish this post. I am going to think of something to make for dinner.

Again, wonderful news Sheba, 👏👏👏👏👏🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)

Linus’ speech about the true meaning of Christmas is the highlight of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Retrieved from The Bible, King James Version, Book 42 Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8 to 14.

Retrieved from A Charlie Brown Christmas:

“I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn’t have picked this
little tree,” said Charlie Brown. “Everything I do turns into
a disaster. I guess I don’t really know what Christmas is
all about. Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas
is all about?”

“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about,”
said Linus. [Linus walks to center stage.]

“Lights, please.”

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.

–Book 42, Luke (002:08-14)
The Bible, King James Version

[Linus picks up his blanket and shuffles off-stage.]

Being Alone

The most important relationship we will ever have in our life, is with our own self.

The most important relationship we have in our lives is with ourselves. And even though we are the only ones who are present at every moment of our lives — from birth onward — this relationship can be the most difficult one to cultivate. This may be because society places such emphasis on the importance of being in a romantic partnership, even teaching us to set aside our own needs for the needs of another. Until we know ourselves, however, we cannot possibly choose the right relationship to support our mutual growth toward our highest potential. By allowing ourselves to be comfortable with being alone, we can become the people with whom we want to have a relationship.

Perhaps at no other time in history has it been possible for people to survive, and even thrive, while living alone. We can now support ourselves financially, socially, and emotionally without needing a spouse for survival in any of these realms. With this freedom, we can pursue our own interests and create fulfilling partnerships with friends, business partners, creative cohorts, and neighbors. Once we’ve satisfied our needs and created our support system, a mate then becomes someone with whom we can share the bounty of all we’ve created and the beauty we’ve discovered within ourselves.

As we move away from tradition and fall into more natural cycles of being in the world today, we may find that there are times where being alone nourishes us and other periods in which a partnership is best for our growth. We may need to learn to create spaces to be alone within relationships. When we can shift our expectations of our relationships with ourselves and others to opportunities for discovery, we open ourselves to forge new paths and encounter uncharted territory. Being willing to know and love ourselves, and to find what truly makes us feel deeply and strongly, gives us the advantage of being able to attract and choose the right people with whom to share ourselves, whether those relationships fall into recognizable roles or not. Choosing to enjoy being alone allows us to fully explore our most important relationship — the one with our true selves. ✨✨
