\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wow, it’s almost Christmas and I’m going to try to sneak in this blahg.<\/span><\/strong>\"Santa It’s been a long five weeks since my last post. Today is not going to be a new full blahg.\u00a0 I’ve been really busy this past couple of months and I’ve been trying to spend as much time with my family as I can.\u00a0 I’ve also started to write fiction again and I’ll share some of that a little later on in this blahg.\u00a0 Right now, I have 30 minutes before I have to be out the door to a meeting so I’m going to try and get a good start on all of this.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 First, let me show you my Christmas yard display for this year.\u00a0 I’ve taken several night photos of the display from right to left or left to right (depending on how you look at it) as well as photos of the front and side of my house.\u00a0 We have lots of snow right now so they look very nice.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now, before I move on to other things, I want to share a quick update on my cat Frank and a very cute photo of Frank & Zoey.\u00a0 I mentioned in a previous blahg that Frank had been sick with a blood parasite and his blood counts were very low and he had lost weight.\u00a0 \"Frank<\/a>A subsequent visit showed that he was responding to his medicine and his levels were getting better and he had gained weight again.\u00a0 Last week, however, Frank began to be very listless and we were worried about his health again.\u00a0 It turned out he was fine and just needed another dose of his medicine that had run out.\u00a0 Our kitten Zoey must have sensed that as she curled up with Frank on this cat couch a friend had given us.\u00a0 It’s a very cute picture and could easily be the front of a Christmas card.\u00a0 Click the picture (or any of the pictures in this blahg) to view a bigger picture.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This blahg is not going to be very lengthy but will have lots of photos, a couple of videos, and some music.\u00a0 First, it’s a prime viewing time for Christmas movies and specials and I had originally thought of doing a blahg about my favorite Christmas cartoons but then the videos I tried to upload to Youtube were too long or too large or something technical.\u00a0 I did find some links to my two favorites so I’m going to post those below.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 First up is, “The Wish That Changed Christmas” from 1991.\u00a0 It’s based on a book I used to read to my daughter, Abbie, called “The Story of Holly & Ivy” by Rumer Godden.\u00a0 It tells the story of a little orphan girl named Ivy that wants a grandmother for Christmas and how a beautiful Christmas doll named Holly helps her wish come true.\u00a0 Check it out below:
