Christmas 2010 and New Years 2011

The sounds of Christmas are winding down and soon another new year will be here. I received many nice gifts for Christmas ......a gift card from Mom and also one from my aunt and uncle..... and from  one of my friends ( Bob ) a portable DVD player case that I can take on buses and in the doctor waiting rooms, a  dark brown leather shoulder bag with organization....

cozy pajamas , aqua color ......and a Rubik's Cube ! I solved the puzzle Christmas Eve and probably will never be able to do that  again ! Oh and lastly,  Santa always brings me a gift that he knows I would especially like !

 It is a Sony Digital Cyber-Shot DSC-H55 with 14.1  megapixels and 10x zoom ! I already made a video of Bob opening one of his gifts and it's in YouTube. The sound is excellant ! This is the first time I have strayed away from Kodak digitals , having owned three of them.

Mom also sent me a small Christmas package to open and with this were  a few pictures she took the last couple of months.......one picture, one picture has brought back so many precious moments from my childhood.

Just by looking at this picture of my childhood home where I grew up and  graduated and then moved with my husband at age 18 to Oceanview Virginia....brought back alot of nice memories. From the front porch swing to the bicycle decorating for Labor Day Homecoming Celebration,  this picture is priceless ! It's a best Christmas gift.

Another "best" Christmas gift is the surprise that my friend Ron gave me ! I have wanted to see snow ! He gave snow to me !!! Yes, believe it !!

 It's in my video for Christmas on my YouTube Channel. He put the animated snow falling down over all my pictures all through-out the video! I had sent him the movie when I finished making it with Windows Movie Maker....and Ron surprised me with the snow .  Smiles.

New Year's Eve and a New Year 2011 is almost here. I pray for good health , at least better health than the struggles I have had this year. I pray for Peace and Good Will for the World.

Happy New Year 2011 !!

Saturday and Here's My Silly Christmas Video ! ( edit)

I have been busy today Christmas shopping. I like to celebrate Christmas the whole month of December . I'm going to have to do a bit of un-packing because some Christmas items are packed away in the moving boxes. I can always re-pack them later.

I joined in the SingSnap "Naughty or Nice" Christmas Challenge and it was fun! I did a video and wore antlers, lol. We were supposed to be creative ~ I sang Jingle Bells with antlers on my head and 'jingled the bells' during the song..........Please excuse parts of my singing, as my lung capacity is limited after having the injection Wednesday.

I've started recording my Christmas music already and found some beautiful themes to go with, for the backgrounds.  First one is , Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. I love this song and dedicated it to my brother  Dan who passed away...too soon. He loved Christmas more than anyone that I personally know !

It was a most gorgeous day today! The high was 70* supposedly. It was cool this morning but in the afternoon,Scoot and I went to the market and I only wore my cords and a slip-over  knit sweater. The sunshine was nice and I soaked it up. I  saw one of my friends I have'nt seen in a long time, down at the outside sitting area and we talked half an hour. He was on his break, he said. Glad we ran into each other. Probably won't see him  for another year, lol !

I'm trying to brace myself and get my mind set and ready for the cold blast we are forcasted to have this coming week. Temps at night to be in the 30's.

Have been enjoying some time over on FaceBook. I did'nt think I'd go back and re-activate, but it's fine and I'm finding some more friends. I don't go for those silly apps and games they have though....to each their own, I say!
