And Then It Flew By

This holiday thing.  Ya know, it builds to fever pitch in anticipation and then it finally arrives and by golly,ZZZZZZipp!  next thing you know, you're looking back on it.  Gone by in a flash.  Relagated to memory.  Kind of like Children: The Early Years.  This year, our Christmas had a new element.  Adult children coming home for the holiday.  That they could  is wonderful, that they chose to is soul satisfying.  DS the Elder arrived Saturday and is staying a couple more days.  DD lives closer and has Dog Duty that prevents overnighting here - her dang ungrateful dog decided immediately on change of address that my resident canines are former buddies to be slaughtered on sight, so DD did day trips.  I've become a good grandmom to said ungrateful dog: I baked a batch of peanut butter dog treats and packed them in her very own storage container, to be refilled as needed.  This amuses me.  I think it made DD happy.  So did the hat I knit for her.  I hear from a lot of you that the muggles don't appreciate their handknit gifts.  I'm sure the hat I knit for my uncle falls into that category, but DD - yeah, she's a muggle who Gets It.  See that Knit Picks Options set?  A gift from DD to me.  Warms a knitting mom's heart, I tell ya. 

I hope you all have some wonderfully heart warming memories from your holidays!

It does go by so QUICK!

I'm glad your DD gets it!
She gets it sooooo much, she got you those sexy needles! I bet it is a ploy for more hand knits! :)
What more could a mother ask for?

Great gift - your DD must be on the ball to have picked such a wonderful gift!

You are so wise, and so clever. That describes the holidays eggzackly.

That's a great gift!

I find the longer I can spend with family and friends after the actual Christmas day, the longer the holiday lasts.
