I love Christmas tress. :) If I had three, I'd do one with normal Christmas decorations and then the other two would be themed.

I admire your hosting and cooking abilities with the numbers you have. I love the stone with "Joy" written on it. Seems like a good reminder to have around. I have a wooden flower sign that says "Bloom" on it where I can see it from my writing desk. It helps me stay positive and on track with what I want to do.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-57448407927925174382018-12-06T15:34:40.659-05:002018-12-06T15:34:40.659-05:00I wrote at the kitchen table for years.

But it is hard when you have to pack it all up to play hosting duties and then get it out again. I still typically feed 20-25 people at Thanksgiving, but am now able to just close my office door. Love your JOY rock!

I am going to put my dolly shrine up downstairs in the guest room. Then I'm hoping to give the collection minus a few favorites to the children's hospital. Are you writing at your bare desk? That's all that matters really. Happy Christmas to you!

Too bad you have to lose your writing space this time of year, but it sounds to me like you've got your priorities in order. JOY is the word... and a lot of that comes from gathering with family and friends. (Still... maybe you could ask Santa for a dedicated writing area...?)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-27453921774495320692018-12-05T08:55:58.758-05:002018-12-05T08:55:58.758-05:00I'm like Patsy, not able to write in complete ...I'm like Patsy, not able to write in complete neatness. 33 people for Thanksgiving?
