Our LED sconces circle the living room ceiling all year and function as night lights for our tiny home; the little ones gaze in wonder at Halloween !~!<br /><br />Hope your blog transfer goes well; I recently started blogging with a blogspot.com address; hate to admit I don't even know who administers it.

I gave up sending cards for the most part several years ago--postage being high, even cards seeming to cost too much. I wrote 'Christmas letters' instead, but I notice that custom is dwindling within the family circle--after all, most of us catch up several times per week on Face Book.<br />No decorating in this tiny house with the three busy kittens in residence--we'd merely be chasing baubles down the hallway! <br />To end my little rant on a positive note: I do have some Christmas CD's which I cherish--not your average supermarket tunes. I also have one of Dylan Thomas reading 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' which I must hear at least once during the season.<br />I"m glad Theo is doing better--sometimes these poor little rescued mites have so many health issues--I hope he will become truly well and thriving.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-8238500500612761482012-12-10T06:30:53.123-08:002012-12-10T06:30:53.123-08:00I will follow you where ever you go. I have a Word...I will follow you where ever you go. I have a Wordpress set up also, I just have issues figuring it out. I may move after the first of the year also, if things calm down.<br />I do hope Theo is feeling better, it takes a lot to take care of them and try to do festive holiday things.<br />It very cold here now, -7F with a windchill of -19F. Its our first cold spell here, still no snow or rain at all, very, very dry.<br />Have a wonderful week.<br />Hugsdenimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-16671361837005545822012-12-10T03:49:38.484-08:002012-12-10T03:49:38.484-08:00Isn't it depressing.

At least the sun is out today but our garden gets none of it at this time of year and the lawn will remain hard and frosty for days and then turn to mush. We have coal on for the first time this year today. The gas poker is in and taking me back to childhood and my grandparents one that hissed louder than this. <br /><br />Interested to hear about Blogger. The wordpress ones that I follow seem to have a really good system so I may follow you over at some point!Em Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-91201384935273831642012-12-10T03:27:18.968-08:002012-12-10T03:27:18.968-08:00I have been enjoying catching up on your posts.

I always want to hibernate at this time of year. Christmas should move to the summer or the autumn even.
