What isn't over you might ask? Well we had Christmas, we have Boxing Day, next come New Years Eve. Our Christmas went quite well. Had my family over for dinner and then we all went to the hospital to spend some time with my Mom who recently took a stroke. Now if you had known my Mom, you would also know that Christmas is one of her favorite holidays, to her Christmas means getting together with her family. She has been talking about Christmas way before she took her stroke. She even had me create some postcards with the image of her first valentine she received from her teacher when she was six years old. And it is amazing how well the valentine card is preserved. She wanted to give each one of her children a postcard since she could not divide the valentine among her seven children, I made 16 of them for her but a problem arose. She received the postcards and put them away. We cannot find them so far but they are at her home somewhere. When we find them , they will be given to my brothers ,sisters, myself and a few others.And when she was in the hospital she wanted to be home for one hour at least on Christmas day, but since that was impossible, we all went to see her. She was very pleased but she got tired. We took a lot of photos. Mom is one who always loved to have photos and to take photos so she was all for it. I brought her a copy of one her and all her children to the hospital. She was happy to see many of her grandchildren and great grandchildren arrive there on Christmas Day too.
Mom is 92 years old and her memory is awesome. She remembers when she was little, I cannot remember if I had breakfast or not. grin. So I guess I must not take after my Mom. They had her in a ward with three other ladies and those ladies also had strokes but their minds seemed to be gone and they yelled all night long, Mom could not sleep so now they have moved Mom to another room and last night she had a great sleep.
Today we are having a snowstorm, so the malls and everything will be closed, and it is Boxing Day so I imagine it will be very busy in the Malls tomorrow. Speaking of Boxing Day my store and other stores are having a sale, 50 percent off cards,invitations,photo cards, and 25 % off of iphone and iPad cases, plus 15 % off tee shirts and mugs .Now is the time to order while the sale last, the sale ends December 30th, if you find something at my store at http://www.zazzle.com/allicor* when you get to the check out use Code ZAZZLEACSALE .I hope you will take advantage of this sale, birthdays ,valentines,showers, are all somewhere in the near future. Now is the time to save.
After boxing day comes New Years Eve, there will be lots of celebrations going on everywhere, some house parties, some going to a club or a dance ,others staying at home watching the New Year come in on the Television. I like to watch the New Year Come in at Halifax, they have a big celebration with various bands outdoors ,let's hope it won't be too cold this year.
And with all these celebrations comes drinking, and I would just like to caution everyone, if you drink don't drive, and if you don't drink but drive be careful of the other cars. Some folks may think they are ok to drive but in reality they are not , so be very careful. Taking a taxi or having a designator driver is a wonderful idea, call the police to drive you home, or rednose. If you are having a party have your guest stay over if they are drinking. So stay safe, and have a very Happy New Years.
