Jan, YEP, that too was the day it snowed in Palmdale. My older son Sean was in Palmdale that day and told me about that. I know some who really GET snow are laughing at me---but to me that IS snow even though it didn't stay. Good for you getting your baking done! I'm in the process of finishing up a whole lotta glass flowers for selling this Saturday and a friends vendor sale. I've come up with a new display and now I have a big truck to put more of them in! :-)I took some photos of the finished ones yesterday and hope to post them soon. I'll be getting work/teacher gifts wrapped and the Christmas letter all printed up today. I still cannot believe it is December. It didn't seem like November was here at all! Just flew by in Mach Speed! Love, Jules

Speaking of it being illegal, we went back there again last night to take my little 4 year old nephew to see it. We sit in an empty lot across the street to watch it, but everyone else was just pulling up in front of the house, on both sides of the street, and pulling off to the side and watching. At one point there was about 6 or 7 cars in the street watching, and a cop car came and turned it's lights on and sat there in the middle of the road until everyone left.

Our display was huge this Christmas season so have a look and enjoy! Video link https://youtu.be/9s3SOS24YkY 

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas day. We visited four of our five kids and their families the past two weeks. We were to have dinner with our youngest and his wife yesterday but darn if they didn’t come down with covid. They’ve been vacinnated but not boostered. She had it mild but it knocked our son down. Hubby and I had our dinner then took some over to them to drop off on the porch. We were able to see them through the window at least and what a relief to see my son was actually up. Weather is crazy here. I’m winter sowing and hoping it gets cold enough at some point. Yesterday, we broke a record high and tomorrow will almost be 70! I have my idea for January’s swap and will be posting on the 1st so keep an eye out! Time to party. Margo
