BLOGMAS DAY 10 -- GOING TO ROSS AND TARGET

 

Actually, it's less than two weeks now.  Time is flying by and I'm no where near ready.  Every year I promise myself it will be different the next year and it never is.  *sigh*

I am not doing a very good job of posting every day.  Life is catching up with me.  But I hope you are enjoying the days I do post.

And now I am keeping a promise I made to you.  Let me show you the haul from Ross and Target.  First Ross.

I found this cute "Movie Night for 2" for my neighbors.  It comes with two popcorn containers, mini pretzel twists, boxes of Junior Mints and a package of microwavable popcorn.

I got the holiday tissue paper at Ross but the tape came from Target.

My sister found this little grocery basket playset for Hadley.  I had to get it.  She will have a ball playing that she is going food shopping like her mommy does.

I got a small box of stroopwafels for our friend Frank.  Have you ever had them?  They are such a wonderful cookie.  I should have gotten a box for myself.

This candy cane rug is adorable.  I had to get it for the kitchen.

And I found these wonderful mugs for Pastor and Carolyn.  I don't usually get them anything, but these just called out to me.  One of them says, "O Come Let Us Adore Him" and the other says, "Let Earth Receive Her King."  I know they will like them.

I got some other things too, but since those people read this blog (and you know who you are) I will have to show you later.

I went to Target to find a gingerbread house kit but they were sold out.  I even looked online and they aren't available.  All sold out.  So I am going to keep that idea in the back of my mind for next year.

I did find a gift for me though.  Those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile will remember that last year I got a 12 days of Christmas sock calendar.  Every day I opened a section and got another pair of Christmas socks.  Well this year I found a 15 day Christmas sock advent calendar.  And this one was is all about cats!  The Feline Festive calendar.

I so want to rip open all the doors and see what each of these cute socks look like.  But I am restraining myself.  It is more fun to start on Christmas Day and open one for each of next 15 days.

The other day when we went to Greeby Street we came home to find that my friend had been by and left a gift bag for me.  She is a real estate agent and I recommend her to so many people because I know she can be trusted to not cheat anyone.  So every holiday she gives me a goody bag.  Here's what was in mine.

Three little candy canes, a note pad in the shape of a snowman, a spider Christmas tree ornament, and a calendar for 2021 with recipes on it.  And they were all in this cute little gingerbread boy bag.

That was so nice of her.  She also left me a bag with a beautiful green suede blazer in it.  It doesn't fit her anymore and she thought I might like it.  I will have to try it on, but I think it will.

And now I have to get ready for church.  Pastor is sick so Joe volunteered to preach today.  I have to get the speaker there on time!  He also has Sunday School to teach.  I think he will be taking a nap when he gets home this afternoon.  

I told him we would stop at McDonald's on the way home for lunch.  I don't know what's for dinner tonight though.  Last night we had breaded flounder filet and lima beans.  I know it will be more than that.  But that's what happens when you get involved in something and it gets later and later.

So until later have a wonderful day.
