SHE NEVER FAILS ME!
Never leaves.
Never speaks TOO much.
Does not JUDGE if the water is not HOT.

My kind of GIRL!

THIS STREET was FULL of these TREE’s!!!!!
THIS IS ME LOOKING RATHER SKINNY!
Don’t know what MY camera did to make me LOOK so TAUNT but I had to SHARE the NECK PIECE!
INSTEAD

Dear Contessa you are always the life of the party in my bloglife. Thanks for knowing who you are and being her so divinely. Sometimes that takes a lot of work but you light the path with your humor and laughter for all of us to “become” our best selves.
Peace and joy and hugs!

You have such beautiful hands Contessa. No, not a tradition in England to open presents on Christmas Eve, in Germany and Denmark, I think, we wait to Christmas Day her in the U.K.! Have a wonderful Christmas with your family, much love ??????

Kimberly Bringgold says
Gorgeous, glamorous, gracious, glorious, giddy and GOBSMACKED! Had to use that word again! Not really GOBSMACKED as I knew that YOU of all people would decorate, adorn, celebrate and embrace the Christmas spirit like no other!!! Every day is a Holiday being with you! Cheers and lots of love!
Lily says
That Christmas tree is so beautiful, and so is your spirit! Yes, you are a rare bird, but such an interesting one! A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, Contessa, and your family! And the dogs, cat, and pig too! 🙂
Diana Amato says
It’s the MERRIEST!! You are in overdrive with the your festivities and everything SPARKLES! I love this time of year and all the chaos and excitement it creates. I had to adjust my son’s thinking, however… He actually asked if we could sleep in on Chistmas morning?!,,,, WHAT? I told him he was sadly mistaken and that his teenage hormones were not allowed in the house on Christmas Day!!!
Peace, Contessa… Or not;-))
