How are you, Blogger Buds? Shopping, wrapping and baking like crazy? I think I'm through shopping and ready to start wrapping.
I've already received two wonderful bud gifts. I'm awed and amazed at these presents and that they've already been sent out. We do have the tree up and the kitchen centerpiece out. Baby steps:) A couple of the ornaments are new ones from the HH. Look for a glass cardinal and a glass grey tabby wearing a red Christmas hat:) Oh yes,and the HH has the outside lights up;)
This one was a huge surprise. I did ninety percent of my shopping online this year. When I opened this, I blinked several times and thought, I'm sure I didn't order anyone a French Coffee Press. I took another look at the address on the box and noticed it was to Super Sandra and knew immediately it was a gift from Ro. Isn't that woman amazing? I would have never bought one for myself. Thank you, Rockin Ro.

Here's the last of the Philly pictures.This lovely old street is one of the oldest residentials in Philly. Beautiful isn't it?
The neighborhood pump.
AND last but not least, Frank.
What about you, Blogger Buds, Got your shopping and wrapping done? Baking?

You are streets (and streets) ahead of me on the Christmas preparation front. Love your gifts and the blissed out Frank. The Philly pictures are amazing too.
Philly looks very English in many of the photos.
We are up to speed with matters of Christmas.
Hiya Frank.
Hi Sandra - ooh Frank ... lucky lad!! Elfreth's Alley looks to be so interesting ... and great the heritage has been maintained. I'd love to visit ... but Christmas is a- coming - those presents are just purrfect!! Cheers Hilary
Beautiful pictures of the Philly street - I agree with Andrew, it looks very English!
Christmas? Yeah, it's all sorted... probably.
I like your tree! Ours is still in shipping, not due to arrive now until January! (It's going to be a very strange, if adventurous, Chistmas here in our flat with a minimum of furniture.)
Love the pictures of Philadelphia. I have never been there, but I love old buildings, and these look full of story and atmosphere.
And, no . . . I'm not anywhere near finished with Xmas shopping.
Everything looks wonderful!
Haven't finished shopping...got a late start...but baking will be starting in the next few days. Our grandson-in-law also has a birthday on the 23rd so I'm making him an Italian Cream Cake. I need to make peanut brittle, fudge...etc.
Hope you're enjoying your week friend!
Love Frank!

What a most beautiful tree. You received wonderful gifts and...you deserve it! You are way ahead of me. I decorated everywhere and now my tree is left. I have my regular Christmas decor, my Santas, my garlands, Snowmen and gnomes all up including my Nativity scene and my Christmas village. I still have to wrap everything, bake, decorate the tree and shop. Aaaahhhh...lol. I did make some apple muffins for my hubby but he left the lid slightly open and our big Gazoo, Harley woofed down 5 before hubby got a hold of him.
Love the pictures of Philadelphia. They look so whimsical, like the cover of a novel.
Love the Philly photos
Lovely gifts! I've dxone nothing up till now. Really nothing! Love Frankie! Hugs, Valerie
Pretty tree :) What a great gift, a french press. My hubby loves his. You know I enjoy doing the calendar:) I love all the pics from Philly too. I want to go there someday. I am done shopping, just need stocking stuffers. I did it all online this year and was lucky to be ahead because I'd be scrabbling now. Hugs xo
EC, I did most of my shopping online. The fear of gifts not arriving in time kept me motivated to finish up:) Isn't the calendar and French Press awesome?
Hope you are feeling well, my friend. Hugs
Andrew, Philly is one of our oldest cities and there was a huge English influence. Good on you for getting your shopping done. Frank sends his regards;)
Hils, Frank probably thinks we are the ones that are lucky to have him. Haha. I would love to visit England again. The one time I was there I never left London. I agree, the buds got purrfect gifts. Cheers,
Annalisa, Agree, it still has its English root. 'Christmas all sorted probably'. Hehe.
Elizabeth, Your tree is in shipping? Ack. I love the old streets too. I'd love to go through the houses and the cellars.
Donna, An Italian cream cake. Yum. Save me a piece and put the coffee on;)
Hugs
Birgit, I bet your house is gorgeous.
Jamie, That's a great thought.
Thanks, Christine.
Val, You take care of you. Christmas can wait. Hugs
Denise, My daughter and SIL love theirs too. I'm anxious to try mine. You do such an amazing job on the calendars. Each year just gets better and better.
What lovely surprise gifts! (And that calendar is lovely in every way.) The "last of the Philly" photos are terrific. You certainly visited at a perfect time of year to capture the city.
Most of my shopping and most out of town is done. Now local wrapping and baking! YAY!
Your tree is amazing 👏🏼 and such beautiful ornaments. ❤️ looking at fun and unique calendars because they're great conversation starters. What great Philly pics!What in the world happens to all those pumpkins after Thanksgiving?🤔😆 Glad you like your gift. Hugs 🤗 RO
