As I mentioned before, I’m celebrating the Winter Solstice instead of Christmas this year! So Happy Winter to you! I’m excited to give my dad his presents, and have Bug roll around in wrapping paper. Later, I’m going to a party that I’m very excited about. Right now, though, I’m going to share some of my decorations and a list of ideas for winter activities! If you’re one of my friends in the southern hemisphere, take a look at my list of 20 Things To Do Before Summer Ends.

Happy Winter Solstice, Mary! May your celebrations be grand in all senses of the word! I’m loving your wintery to-do list, and craving snow after reading half of the ideas. I want to build me a snowman doing a handstand!
I hope you had a beautiful winter solstice, Miss Mary! I took a moment and thought of you yesterday at 12:11pm… while I was on my way to work, blurgh.
