I have just returned from my yearly Christmas Retreat and a package from Nelda L Copsey was here, apparently arrived in the mail on Friday.

I am excited to hear who won the magazine. I don't usually enter contests so this would be fun to win.

Oh, I also have an ornament ready to send if needed. Just let me know.

Debbieoh, what a great story. I bet your grandson was surprised. So how red was his face?

i m hoping tomorrow wlll bring all the packages i'm still expecting--the leggings , the xmas gifts i ordered and my ornament.
years ago when my middle boy Troy was a young teenager my sister asked him what he wanted for Xmas. He said " i don't know". His aunt never did ge an answer from him so she took a box, filled it with crumpled up newspaper and wrapped it. stuck it into a slightly bigger box and wrapped it again. She continued in this fashion til his present was biggest under the tree (roughly 4-5 layers of boxes). He was so excited thinking it must be something really great. Xmas day came and he tore into that present--layer after layer only to find another box to open. finally pulled out all the crumpled paper to find nothing. His Aunt calmly asked him "What did you get?" he answered " I dont know". she responded " you got just what you asked for". He has always had a litst of wants every year since. ps: she did have a actual gift under the tree for him.
thought i would share this story since Debbieoh shared one.
