RedGarnet I will be wearing those earrings throughout the holidays. I don't think I even have any other festive ones to wear. I love earrings.
When I was a teen girls were starting to get their ears pierced. I wanted mine pierced so bad, but we had just moved to TN and I didn't have the money yet. I decided I was going to do it myself. I got ice to numb my ear lobes after disinfecting them and the big needle, and did one. It went well with almost no pain. I became overconfident with the second one, but I got it done. To this day at now 69 that second ear lobe is not quite straight,but works. Lol....
