It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like........... Christmas.

I'm not a Christmas person per say. The commercialism of the Holy Day dims my ability to embrace the season.
Letting all that go, I went shopping today. My daughter and her boyfriend will be spending Christmas apart, [her with me, him with his family in England]. His birthday is December 2, so they decided to celebrate this day as their Christmas. They are even putting up a tree.

He seems like a nice chap, :) funny and easy to please. Very intelligent!! I send them parcels every month with goodies and necessities. My baby is vegetarian and so is he to a point, but he likes to eat fish.
Last month I sent him a couple of cedar planks for cooking fish, especially salmon. He was so thrilled with them, I was embarrassed, as I forgot I even put them in the parcel.

This all leads to the birthday present I got him. He loves pesto, he puts it in almost all the dishes he cooks.

I really hope he likes it!!!!!















Now he can make his own, whenever he likes!!!

Getting back to Christmas......... since they are having their first christmas together, I bought them beautiful wooden ornaments and some other things for their tree. I also got them hats and filled stockings. And of course, one of each for their cat Pint.

This is not a great picture , but I bought them ornaments in which I could put pictures of Pint and Rosey.















I guess what I'm trying to say is that, Christmas can be a good thing sometimes, if you put it all into perspective. A small example:

Young Love, First Christmas and lest we not forget...............

'tis better to give than to receive.

PS I'm no saint, but I do believe this.

(I also put mistletoe in their parcel)
Ahhhhhh..........................to be young and in love!!!!!

Hi Lemuel, I agree wholeheartedly!!
But I hope I made it a little more special for them. They are after all, students with not a lot of money to spare.
