It's not complete until the Big White Guy in his fancy, furry, ruby red garb carries his ever-so-filled gift bag down the chimney! What, no soot? Well, our chimney is clean! We, in the five years living here, have never used the fireplace. Besides, this "Papa's Gotta Brand New Bag" [about 3 feet tall, made of felt]....it's new! I found it at Michael's Crafts for half off...originally $2.99. Yep, I got it for $1.50!! Stuffed it with newspapers to 'fill' it and it's by the fireplace now. LOLOLOL Ho, ho, ho, Mer-r-r-r-y Chris-s-s-tmas!!

Merry Christmas HOOT! Happy New Year filled to the brim with laughter..... it is good medicine you know........
ReplyDeleteAnni,
ReplyDeleteThat was way too fun! Who knew that Barak Obama did personal gift cards.
I really love the bag you picked up. I may have to check and see if there are any left at our local Michael's.
I usually try to stay away from that place, if I don't I pretty much just end up handing them my paycheck every month. I have a problem.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me, and I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!
Delightful Santa a lovely card. Love the quote too. Thanks for dropping by Small Reflections earlier. If you any of your visitors know anything about HP printers, I’m requesting HELP for some problems I’m experiencing currently while sharing some Christmas Cheer!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
That's a beautiful bag Ann, Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteHo, Ho, Ho!

Anni, you decorate your blog sooooooo nice for Christmas. Thank you, it is a pleasure to drop in on it.
ReplyDeleteI like your bargain bag a lot. It is nice. We have stockings hanging on our mantle, on the fireplace we haven't used since we built the house ten years ago. Guess Nebraska folk living in Texas don't see a need to light the fireplaces.
Happy RT! I have my three granddaughters and two dogs (one is a granddog) on my RT today.
..
Merry Christmas! I probably won't be back until after that day.

That is a really cool bag. It must look great sitting beside the fireplace.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
What a darling bag you found at Michael's! You should tell Bud to fill it up with gifts for you...hehe!
ReplyDeleteThat video card is so neat! I'm impressed that even President Obama signs it!! lol xoxo
Merry Christmas... ENJOY!
