Well, I must say that last night's story was totally non-fiction! "Santa does see Everything" is a brief glimpse into a real Christmas in our household ... snoopers and all! My dear sister Kathy did indeed learn her lesson with my Mom's ingenious wrapping scheme the year after she ruined her own Christmas. I can still see Mom throwing her hand to head in utter consternation when she realized she had forgotten the wrapping code.
I am not sure if Kathy already had a keen sense of "detective" within her at that point, but I do know it is an uncanny skill along with a surreal memory for the inane. She can really spook people when she can cite their addresses and postal codes after all her years as a mail carrier. Now - she is in the perfect job at Canada Post in that she gets to "track" down owners of mail and parcels that are undeliverable for one reason or another! Inspector Clouseau? You bet! And she gets paid for it, best of all! LOL! So happy that Kathy and my Mom will be visiting all of us here in Alberta from the 24 - 01st. Christmas morning with Kathy in the house will be a joy, which is apropos since her middle name is indeed "Joy!" Love you Tigger!
Sisters are a joy to have in one's life! I am blessed with two born sisters and four "adopted" ones and I bring this up because I just had an hour long Skype call with two of my adopted sisters. "Sisters by Love" is a great way to summarize these amazing friends I am blessed to have. Each and every one of them along with Carla and Kathy, have been a constant safe haven for me throughout my life and their love and support have carried me through some dark times. I love you all!
At this very busy time of year when women typically bear so much pressure make sure you reach out with a hug to those who need it. As my call did this morning, it will revive you and give you that extra boost of energy for the final countdown to the big day ... and remember, no peeking!
Shine On!
