Here in the northern hemisphere, it was the shortest day of the year today. An exciting milestone as we climb our way back out of darkness day by day.
It was also a big shopping day. With just a few days until Christmas, it’s time to check those lists twice, and prepare for the big day.
I have a lot of people I give gifts to, including my husband and three kids, his family and my family, including the wives, husbands, children, boyfriends and girlfriends of everyone on both sides. (Don’t ask me to count!)
So when I say I got all of my steps while shopping, I bet it now makes sense!
In addition to shopping, I had yet another party this evening with one of my closest groups of friends. Here are a few pictures from my day.
The shopping mall:
The cute gift box containing a gift from one of my gal pals.
The winter solstice sunset.
Thanks for visiting!
