Last...Hi Kelly, Happy Holiday's and nice ideas. Last weekend the family went down town Philly to see lights, and lighting events and dinner. Somehow, I really, really wish we would do more of these fun events around the region as an alternative to the chaotic rush. This year I am more behind than ever before which strangely seems to be putting me into a lull. I'm eager for the official part of the season to be over, it is afterwards, simple foods, fires, twinkling lights, reading books you got as gifts, this is when I truly enjoy the holiday season. Is this getting old, or, just wisdom kicking in, lol. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202370066304771978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-28127342045781197922014-12-19T17:17:56.046-05:002014-12-19T17:17:56.046-05:00This is a great post!
