I'm actually much more of a non-fiction reader myself, but I adore many of the classics, have a soft spot for Russian lit, and do occasionally dabble in contemporary fiction. <br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-42343423071133567342012-12-15T21:03:58.696-08:002012-12-15T21:03:58.696-08:00well, not so much a holiday post, but a gift post ...well, not so much a holiday post, but a gift post nonetheless.

I gasped as I read what happened, and can imagine how bummed you must have felt about "Santa's" oversight when it came to how easily crayons melt (not the same thing really, but that story reminds me of one year when our two dogs got into my sister's Easter candy and ate pretty much all of it because it had been left out at pet height. Thankfully the dogs were fine in spite of the large amount of chocolate they ate, but my sister was understandably upset, so I gave her most of my candy). <br /><br />How absolutely beautiful that you're sharing Christmas with some of your closet friends. Family isn't just who you're related to by blood, it's also the people who matter most to you in the world, and I'm so happy that you'll be celebrating the holidays with some of those folks.<br /><br />Merriest Christmas wishes, dear lady,<br />♥ Jessica <br /><br />*PS* Be sure to keep an eye on your mail box, a Christmas card from me is zipping across the miles to you as we speak.

For sure - all of my vintage holiday gift guides are intended to be used more as a jumping off point for ideas, then a shopping list in the moment per se, so they can be carried over year after year (yes, some items may not be in stock any more, but in most cases an equivalent can usually be found).<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-69174300678075653582012-12-11T18:27:09.812-08:002012-12-11T18:27:09.812-08:00Oh my goodness, this is such an amazing post of lo...Oh my goodness, this is such an amazing post of lovely and adorable stocking stuffers!

There are several of t...I love this post, Jessica! There are several of those delightful items that I would enjoy receiving in my stocking too! (I pinned a couple things to my boards.)<br /><br />That harmonica looks EXACTLY like one my brother had as a kid. And the flashlight looks like the ones we had in our house when I was growing up.<br /><br />Those gloves are a must-have (one of the pages I pinned)! Since my daughter does all the cooking in our home, I am the resident dish washer, and now that I've gone back to painting my fingernails, gloves are essential!! <br /><br />I have a funny story about crayons and stockings. One year, when I was about 6, my stocking had crayons in it. Well, Santa wasn't using his brain, because he put them in the very bottom of the stocking, which was hung over the fireplace..and we had a fire in the fireplace. Needless to say, the crayons melted and made a huge mess in the stocking. And this little girl was not happy that she didn't have any crayons to use on Christmas morning.<br /><br />I know you and Tony must be over-the-moon excited to be spending Christmas with your family this year. You know that I miss living near family all the time, but never more than at holiday time. So, what do you do when distance keeps you from the ones you love? You open your home to others who are similarly away from family. We have 9 guests coming for Christmas Eve dinner...may have anywhere from 1 to 3 more, depending on if they can make it.<br /><br />Anyhow, love and hugs to you.<br /><br />Love,<br />Patti<br /> Patti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-34394537405681204852012-12-11T17:34:57.747-08:002012-12-11T17:34:57.747-08:00Oh I love stocking stuffers!

So entertaining and attractive....I love this post! So entertaining and attractive. And beyone that, I adore the idea of stocking stuffers. The best gifts are the right choices, not the most expensive items, and it's a fun challenge to find small, inexpensive items that amuse recipients. I enjoy the process of selecting such gifts.<br /><br />And don't knock hot-water bottles! During the 12 days of no heat from Hurricane Sandy, I was desperate for warmth and bought one for my bed. It made a big difference. One with a cute dog on it would be even better.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-83892112696641169652012-12-11T11:00:57.983-08:002012-12-11T11:00:57.983-08:00I love that Strawberry Crush lip balm!
