In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, I put my Christmas Spode into service, enjoying my coffee and a little something in it. It's Christmas! I even painted my nails a little bit red. Ho! Ho! Ho!
I almost didn't go to the Christmas store, but, I couldn't resist! Who doesn't want to reproduce that wonderful feeling we all get from Christmas? I would pay good money to have that same feeling. Are you with me? Let's go! After coffee, of course!
Pucker up baby!! It's Christmas in July and I carry my own mistletoe.

You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere in your post!
Have fun!
It is always interesting to see the different markets around the globe! C’mon! Show me your market shots! I eagerly await them!
I could not resist going to the Christmas store. Just to see what I might need for Christmas in December. It never hurts to shop a little early and they had some really striking pieces. I have to deduce that is only because I don't need them tonight. If I did, I would never find them. Isn't that the truth!
I hope you will join us as we share different markets. It has been such a pleasure to see markets from all over the world. Who doesn't love to see what they are selling? There is always a curiosity attached to foreign ingredients, different produce, or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! So don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery, art galleries, wherever money is exchanged for a service, or for merchandise. Don't forget to use the hashtag #marketfriday and @dswigle.
Please leave the link to your post here so it can easily be found by others. It helps you and me to have them in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you so much for joining us!! ❤
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!
Question: As a Christmas gift parents buy 16 computer games for their 3 children! The youngest gets 1/8 of the games, the middle child gets 1/4 of the games and the oldest gets 1/2 of the games.
How many games does each child receive and how many do the parents keep
source
Answer: You have 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2. If you give them a common denominator of 16 then you end up with 2/16, 4/16 and 8/16 and so the answer is…
Youngest Child: 2 games
Middle Child: 4 games
Oldest Child: 8 games
Parents: 2 games
I am touched by the way the kindness has just radiated outward, wherever I went, whatever I did. Can we please do this kind of thing all year round? I promise it won't wear out!
As always, there must be a flower. Always. To color my world. These flowers are dedicated to all of you, who color my world every single day. Thank you for that.

Thanks for taking a walk on the wild side in memory of Christmas. It was fun and truly gave me some ideas for next Christmas. So thank you and I hope you have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! And if you get bored tonight, I know for a fact that the Hallmark Channel is only playing Christmas movies!
And just like that, this post is over! I hope you had a good time and yes! I know that Christmas in July is a bit odd, but, some days, you just have to give into it. So tie up those reindeer, sit down and let's have some dinner chased by a little egg nog and fruit cake! You know you want to! Cheers!! Always remember!
