Our Christmas, 2024

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

So this year it’ll be no Christmas tree, no Christmas lights. and Christmas dinner three days early because you can’t keep it that long. I just don’t have the strength this year. I could never get a tree through the door–not after 6 weeks in a hospital bed.

I have a feeling it’ll be very moving. Just Jesus. And family memories. Yeah, that’ll work. Next Christmas we can trot out the ornaments.

Meanwhile… What will our Elf on the Shelf do, still stuffed into the closet? Our Elf was always very careful not to involve our cats in any of his activities. “And you see how they reward me!” he snarls.

I guess I’ll have to leave a cookie on the table.

Security Camera Catches Elf Coming to Life!

I cannot vouch for the integrity of this video: although, heck, it was taken by security cameras in an office, so how could it be fake?

We have one of these elves for our tree, passed on to me by my Grammy. I don’t know how old it is, but I suspect it must be part of the first generation of Elf on the Shelf. He’s been on our Christmas tree every year for 40 years, and we’ve never caught him moving about. His descendants seem to be less cautious.
