Xmas & winter & all that

Seeing that my apartment is just post WWII, as I have calculated -  and in California - we don't have real heating as I always did in the East - but then, we really don't need it very much - so we are making do with some electric space heaters and dressing warmly - One thing we don't have to budget for it heating oil, thank heaven!

Fighting off a slight ear ache with homeopathic drops and sent to the health food store for some more - (they do work) - and picked up some samples while I was there - and some Wellness vitamins -

Playing Mrs. Claus with my husband and have to hunt up the missing pieces of my costume.  Luckily I wore the hat to a commerical audition recently, so I know where that is (no, I didn't get the job...) It's always a question of how cold it will be up there - hard to tell....Luckily included in our deal is the rental of my husband's Santa suit - so that is taken care of - I am only a supporting character here!  And we do get some money before Xmas- always nice...

We are really not spending much $ at all this Xmas - most of the decorations are recycled/cheap/free (the pine branches and the wrapping paper from the whiskey mfg.)

Maybe I will just send out ecards - dover.com has lots of nice vintage ones.  (That's where I get lot of my pix.) I used to be so busy at Xmas that I just sent out New Year's cards in January - the only downside is that you fall off some people's xmas card lists....but if you are too frazzled, it IS a thought!
