My Favorite Season

MY PRECIOUS YET TACKY TREE

I just love the Christmas holiday season.  You can justify buying gifts and you have a chance to alter your home without regard to taste or fashion since it is only temporary.  I believe in the big gaudy Christmas tree with ornaments and balls that do not match.  I love the fresh smell of pine in the home even though it is a pain to clean up afterward.

But although I tend to indulge myself and others I am always mindful of being frugal.  Since I am a jeweler I make many of my own gifts.  I also request gifts that are not expensive to spare my friends and family the cost and guilt of spending too much.  This year I  have requested dog grooming, a trip to the museum with lunch, a hair cut and my name made into a graffiti mural.  I have always told people what I want for Christmas so that I never had to feel disappointed.  And since my requests are so reasonable I usually get a few small surprises in there too.


May you have:
A world of wishes at your command.
God and his angels close to hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
and Irish blessings in your heart!



Happy Holidays & We'll Be Back In The New Year!
