Christmas: A Season of Anticipation and Delight

 Just like a kid, the thought of getting presents makes my heart pound fast.

So you can imagine how exciting it was to get a text message telling me there was a bag of presents hanging from the mail box, to go out and get them, and then open them!

They were from one of my sisters and she wanted me to open them right then and there, rather than wait for Christmas.

Faster than one of Santa's reindeer, I flew out to the front porch and got the bag.

Inside were the three presents shown at the top of this post.

One was a beautiful red tablecloth with matching napkins.

Another gift was a cute red holiday dish in the shape of a poinsettia.

And last, but by no means least, was a small cup with lovely designs, including  birds, on it. 

It's for a tea candle, which was also included.

Loved the presents, one and all.

And as if that were not exciting enough, another gift came in the mail that same day.

 It was inside a large, white envelope.

 It will ensure several weeks of splendid coffee in the morning. 

 It was from a dear friend who must know I love this coffee.

Christmas is a season filled with anticipation and delight.

WHAT WAS ONE OF YOUR CHRISTMAS SURPRISES SO FAR?
