Sepia Saturday
Sorry, I missed last week, but we had a tree to (pick out, drive home and decorate) although, too many other objects of distraction took over.
Okay, to apologize for missing another week, again. Christmastime and being close to my family, appreciating them and feeling such sadness from the horrible loss, of valuable lives in Connecticut, it leaves me numb.
I am stunned, and I have felt so selfish to revel in any form of entertainment, outside of family, while so many hearts were breaking.
As you see,
I started this during our #156 Sepia Saturday.
Here is Alan's most delightful *early* smooch, smooch, kiss*** for us!
I can live with this theme, and truthfully we can't live without it!
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR -
gift all with your kindness.
gift all with your kindness.
it's still worth striving for.
Consider this life style. Once upon a sepia world, from ancient history, there lived a very popular man. (No, his name isn't Alan, although he too, is quite popular around these parts!)
He is known by so many names.
He travels the whole world through.
Many welcome his arrival while others do not.
Ted Geisel - Dr. Seuss - drawing "How the Grinch stole Christmas"
He's making the rounds....
But! Little did he know, he had a freckle-faced follower
....and this lad caught the most incredible sight ever!
See below!
He, saw "Mommy kissing Santa Claus!"
So keep an eye open for that ever so popular man in the red suit- you just never know where he may pop up!
Don't forget now, keep your eyes open!
I want to wish everyone a most very Merry, and Happiest of all Christmas, or whatever else your family celebrates during this festive time of year. Good Blessings to all, and to all "much happiness in the coming year ahead as well!"

Great post Karen, my favourite is Mommy kissing Santa.
Wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Santa sure gets around. Though milking a reindeer seems a more likely chore at the north pole.
cool christmas-y post! and all the same back at ya karen!
it's a tough one this year...like you say...i'm looking forward to stepping into 2013!!
We will have our daughter home from Michigan for Christmas but I can't promise her that she will catch Mummy kissing Santa Claus.
Hope you and your family have a very special Christmas. All the best and have a Happy New Year.
And why would Mummy not be kissing Santa? Do we know the present she received? I bet she was just expressing her gratitude for receiving such a nice present. What else could the reason be??
Merry Christmas, Karen!
If I may offer any advice here, while feeling sympathy for those who grieve, which is noble and the decent thing to do, you should in no way deprive yourself or your loved ones of a time to rejoice, while you have them. One never knows how long things last, so why make it morose. Enjoy the moment, make it memorable, and remember those who don't have such a luxury, because Life is a luxury,
one that we shouldn't take for granted.
Have the merriest of times
and see you in 2013!!

Merry Christmas, Karen! That sure is a very tall Santa walking down the White House hall. Was it Mr. Regan, I wonder?
Hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year.
