  3. Your gift bags look so pretty and you make a GREAT elf, LOL! I just finished dipping about 100 pretzel rods in white chocolate, putting into small baggies and tying them off with silver ties for the reception, I am pooped:( I think I have seen that movie on tv before, yrs. ago. I hope you take a well earned break and relax for a bit:)

  13. I believe all the Christmas packages arrived! The funny thing is Michael has them locked up and won't pass any of them out until Christmas morning! LOL

    He says the men are all mad at him. I love that picture in my mind. These special ops tough guys whining that they can't open their presents until Christmas! It will be even more special when they do since they've been waiting! They have to work on Christmas, so it will be something to make it feel a little like Christmas. Thank you so much for doing stockings. Merry Christmas!

  14. Hi Gina! I am going to check that movie out. I'll look on Amazon! Did you ever see "The House Without A Christmas Tree". It's an old 1972 movie. Love all the pussycats dressed in their XMas finery!
