The day after
Written by Anne Mallory in Jaunty PostHope everyone had a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or just all around great weekend! Anyone shopping today? Did you brave the early morning sale crowds? Find anything fun? Snowmen that hold candles? Holiday cards for next year? That great blouse that you’ve been wanting?
What about this past weekend? Any great stories? Particularly juicy foibles (fall into the eggnog) or great moments (see your relatives healthy and happy)? This is the week of rest and cheer before the rush back to work and the resolutions that define our next year (or next few days, however those resolutions go!).
I had a very nice weekend spent with family. The best thing about Christmas Day for me is the pure joy of sitting around with family and friends and not doing anything else. Just a day of rest and good cheer.
And now, I’m off to see what kinds of sales are out there. Back later in the day with a report. ![]()

I lost my mind at JoAnn fabric. I went for the chenille yarn that was $4-something and ended up spending $30 on yarn and $35 on Christmas that was 75% off - boxes of ornaments and baskets and cards….if I added up the regular price of the Christmas stuff, it was $125 worth of stuff. Now, to remember I have it NEXT year.
