Christmas Advent Calendar

Hey everyone sorry about the late post.  This is day 10 of the advent calendar hosted by Jo at Serendipitous Stitching thanks Jo!  I've been at universal all day with the hubby enjoying the Christmas celebrations.  We saw grinchmas and saw the Macy's parade and enjoyed all of the Christmas lights.  We even got hot butterbeer.

It was a lot of fun and our first time seeing the parade.  It was pretty cool they had a bunch of the balloons from the thanksgiving parade as well as some of the floats.

I also got some stitching done.  

This is a present for DH's friend for Christmas.  All of the crosses are done I'm just finishing the back stitching and then I'm putting in a quote.  We got the frame for it today.

I'm not currently stitching any christmas designs but I have two that are hanging that I've finished previously.  

We're supposed to talk about our best Christmas present but I don't just have one.  My biggest gift I received last year was from my hubby.  He bought me a new car!  My old one was on its last legs and had no air conditioning.  (We live in Florida) it was horrible.  We share a car so things are still a pain but it's a nice car.  My mom gave me another of my favorite gifts which was a trip to Disneyland when I was in 8th grade.  And my best friend got to go as well.  We lived in Colorado at the time so it was a big trip.  My most meaningful gifts were when I was a child my grandparents would give us a music box and engraved ornament every year.  My grandma passed when I was 11 so anything that reminds me of her I treasure.  I no longer have the music boxes because they broke but I do have most of the ornaments.  I think my sister has the rest they got mixed up in our packing boxes.

I hope everyone has a happy holidays and merry Christmas.  Hopefully my next post will be a finish as I should be done tomorrow.  My next post may include some Hanukkah festivities since it starts in 6 days.
