CHRISTMAS SOCKS

Hello, friends!  I'm sitting here listening to Jack snore as I type.  What a cat he is.  He can be so sweet and then the next thing you know he is into trouble.  And snore!  He's as bad as his father, Joe.  Ha, ha.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day.  It is bright and sunny here and going up to around 45*F (7*C).  I will enjoy it while I can because our temperatures are set to drop.  A lot.  To around 30*F (-1*C).  I am not looking forward to that.  I asked Joe if we had anywhere we had to be tomorrow or Friday and he said no.  I replied "Good, I'm staying in with the space heater on."  Fortunately it is only for a couple of days before it warms up again.  And the dark blue stripe will look nice in my temperature blanket.  Ha, ha!

My blanket is coming along so nicely.  I really like it this year and can't wait to show you how it has grown at the end of this month.

But today I thought I would show you some more of my Christmas socks.  I thought for sure I would have them all photographed by now.  But the last four are at the bottom of a pile of clothes to be put away and I have to find them, pull them out and take a picture of them.  But for now, here's some more socks to show you.

If you remember, Joe bought me the 12 days of Christmas sock calendar.  Each day I opened a door and there was a pair of socks!  Such fun.  I wanted one but never got to the store to get it.  So glad I saw it at the after Christmas sale.

I've already showed you the first two days back in December.  In case you didn't see it, this is what they looked like.  First, here's the entire unopened calendar.

On the first day of Christmas (December 25) my calendar gave to me...

 A nutcracker sock.

And on the second day...

Candy cane striped socks.

Some of the socks, like the nutcracker ones, are definitely holiday related.  But I figure I can wear the ones like the red and white striped anytime.

Back at home, I opened Day 3.

And found these cute little polka dotted ones.  I actually wore these last week.  Another pair that can be worn any time.

Day 4 I opened a door with Santa's buttons and belt on it and that's also what was on the socks.

I thought the same thing would happen on Day 5, but I got a Christmas llama!

On Day 6 the calendar door had a picture of a llama.  Another pair of llama socks I wondered.  But no.  It was a penguin.  How cute!

But the bear on the door to Day 7 really was recreated on the socks beneath.

And the reindeer on Day 8's door turned into reindeer socks.

And now I am going to get some breakfast and then go find the last four pair of socks to show to you tomorrow.  I had forgotten how fun this was.  I wish they did this other times besides Christmas.  Wouldn't it be fun to have a countdown to Easter sock calendar with Easter bunnies and colored eggs?

Have a good day everyone.
