Connie? A kooky compulsion? Like a whole sleighful! Now that's Christmas! Happy holidays to all. Thanks for the memories.

Connie - Merry Christmas to you! Fun to read your process for a proper Christmas! I agree with you about Christmas butting out of Thanksgiving! There is time for both holidays . . . in their own time! Love to hear about your traditions - that’s the fun of the holidays! Iowa State Fair ornaments on your tree - BUT OF COURSE! I’d expect nothing less! Great article, Connie! You make me laugh! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄

Thanks, Sharon! Gotta have the Fair with me wherever I am, I guess! Merry Christmas and love to you and your family!

Why does it not surprise me that you have State Fair decorations! I love that. This was a fun read. I enjoyed reading it while I had a cup of tea by my very modest tree ... in my little Christmas tea mug. :)

I love that you had a festive break with your tree and your cup of tea. And you know I have to have State Fair ornaments. No tree of mine is complete without them!
