NATIONAL THANK-YOU NOTE DAY

National Thank-You Note Day on December 26th recognized the time-honored tradition of thanking people for their gifts, hospitality, and generosity. It is a day to get some note cards, paper, pen, envelopes, and stamps to write those special thank-yous.

Taking the time to thank family and friends with a personalized message has special meaning. The receiver of the “thank-you” will enjoy getting the card in the mail and the message you have written. Personal messages also convey to friends and family a deeper, more intimate sentiment. These handwritten notes, however brief, carry a tactile expression of thanks that verbal communication often lacks.

Never underestimate the power of saying “THANK YOU!”

NATIONAL CANDY CANE DAY

National Candy Cane Day on December 26th gives candy lovers a day to celebrate the red and white striped candies found abundantly during the holidays.

NATIONAL WHINERS DAY

As the year starts to wind down, National Whiners Day on December 26th allows an opportunity to complain about just roughly anything. If you want, you are allowed to whine about being too tired, or overeating. Maybe you want to whine about having to go back to work or all the cleaning up you have to do. Are the lines long in the return aisle at the store? You can whine about that, too. The possibilities are endless.

However, two essential parts of the day to remember are:

No whining about what you did not get for Christmas or do not have
And remember what you do have
Many people are less fortunate than others. Some are struggling to put food on the table or a roof over their heads. Others have no family or friends. Families without a single gift under the tree may simply be thankful to have each other. Others may be fighting disease and illnesses, and some may have coped with all of these. You may want to whine about something (and today you are allowed) but remember to be thankful for each gift you did receive and all that you do have. (And help others when you can).

Sheba, my area seems the opposite of yours. Most are here, houses are all lit up and I hear the cars and delivery trucks coming and going. I tend to lay low on the holidays and avoid crowds. We had a nice day at home. My son’s schedule is difficult since he’s been busy at work, so we will go out when the timing is better. It was hard for me too during my working years as this was a peak season but in reality, the peak season lasted all year. Well do tell… has Taylor’s jacket visited?
Glad you and the family enjoyed the day.

I arrived home about an hour ago so I could eat. The rehab invited visitors and family members to dine with their loved ones at lunch today. The cost was $4 per person. The meal was edible. Hubby left quite a bit of food and i had to ask if there was dessert for him. Everyone had chocolate cake with frosting for dessert. Hubby felt left out. I stayed for his dinner which was served around 5 pm.. It smelled delicious and according to hubby it was. He had the chocolate cake for dessert at dinner and fell asleep on a full stomach.

I am not sure what caused the crack on my electric stove. It was doing fine up until I started using the hex clad and WP’s cookware. Neither one is that heavy. I only use high heat on pasta until it boils. However, I haven’t had pasta in months. I wonder if the new roaster for the turkey or the new pan for making the stuffing did it. Then again I used the stove top last week without a problem for meals. Nothing fell so that’s not the problem. I also need to contact Lowes since I purchased the stove from them. I did some research and did find that one should not use ceramic on a glass top. I do not have ceramic unless WP’s cookware has it. No mention of this in the write up on HSN. I will check on this later.

Congratulations on the Chiefs win. I also read where the girls arrived and you all had a great time making those pies. By the way, many years ago I attended Christmas Eve mass with my roommate from college. I found it very interesting. I was impressed with the congregation opening their hearts and arms to welcome me. I cannot put into words the emotions that came over me during and after the service. I was mesmerized then and it continues to this day .
It is cold again in Florida. Suffice to say the temp is in the low 60s, but it feels like the 40s. We had showers on and off today and more is expected tomorrow. I assume this is just another weather change. It’s that time of year. Actually, beginning in July and through the first couple of weeks in September, I long for the cooler temps and low humidity. I enjoy wearing layers that one can discard as the temps begin to climb. Not a beach day, that’s for sure.

Enjoy the rest of the evening. Merry Christmas.

Love the train.

George Michael Lyrics
“Careless Whisper”

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find

I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
(Should have known better, yeah)
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who’s gonna dance with me?
Please stay

And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know you’re not a fool
I should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Now that you’re gone
Now that you’re gone

Now that you’re gone
Was what I did so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?
