Oh the misfits are out and about. A good dose of turkey tryptophan tomorrow will mellow them out. My box has been very good and sitting quietly by the door. If it is bad it is going to the garage. Well, maybe that is a good idea, the mice can chew a little hole in it so I can peer in. Anyone have one of those cameras on a hose like they look inside of you?

Don't you just hate it when things like that happen, and you can't yell at anyone because you did it to yourself? I just hate that.... I am glad you are OK, but I can imagine how frightening that must have been. Blessings. ( BTW- Soaking in Epsom salts will help with all those bruises you can't see, but feel.)

"Santa Closet"... LOL.
We were kind of different in that we didn't pretend there was a Santa with our kids. I remember the extreme disappointment and betrayal I felt the day I learned there was no Santa Claus and I didn't want to do that to my kids. We just taught them that Santa was the pretend part of Christmas, and tho some children believed he was real-- he wasn't. I always felt Santa stole the glory of Christmas (in children's eyes) from Jesus, who's birthday we celebrate. So we had a birthday cake for Jesus and plenty of Christmas decorations and always a beautiful tree AND a nativity where the kids could act out the Christmas story... but no Santas in our home. My kids are grown now but I still can't bring myself to put out a Santa to decorate, tho I think they are cute. I have a few kitchy vintage Santa pieces that were my parent's, from the 40's and 50's... but they are collectables that stay in the china cabinet.
We set out a large collection of nutcrackers... all mementos from the 10 years or so that all three of my kids danced in The Nutcracker Ballet.

Quilt Addict and Neesie you two are cracking me up! My SS box had a slightly crunched corner when it arrived and I swear I didn't do anything to it.....(honest!).....but there peeking out of that slightly smooshed corner was a little pink polka dotted bit of fabric with some stitching on it. I told my DH that my box was sticking it's tongue out, taunting me!
I could really sneak a telescopic micro-lens in there..........but I am being a good girl!
