My 3 sons & families are with me this Christmas

I feel a bit guilty though, because while my husband was alive ( he died Oct 26th), we never made a big deal of Xmas..

It's always just been the 5 of us, and they married into LARGE families who DO make a big fuss, so we've always encouraged them to participate...but this year they are worried that I would be alone..(I would, but it's not that big of a deal for me)..

We don't do "gifts" anymore since they are grown ups, but I DID score with the mimicry hamsters..

If you have not seen them, do yourself a favor and get one..if you can find one



We have laughed ourselves silly ....and these three grown men are "teaching" their hamsters to rap...the hamsters copy every sound it hears..and you can imagine how they are corrupting the poor little guy .. They will all have one to take home with them ..

I'll get my turkey ..didn't do anything for Thanksgiving... and life goes on..

Merry Xmas to all

This holiday. Your hamsters sound like fun. Laughter lightens sorrow and gives joy.

I want one now. Where did you find It?
