Together, the three trimmed the hall and parlor and great dining room with shining holly and evergreen, lay fires ready for kindling on the hearths that had been cold for years, and made beds fit for sleeping all over the house. What went on in the kitchen, only Dolly could tell. But such delicious odors as stole out made Grandma sniff the air and think of merry Christmas revels long ago."

We
like to open some of our Christmas parcels throughout the twelve days
of Christmas and today the children each received paint-your-own
matryoshka kits from a lovely couple in our church. The children
immediately sat down to work on them before, during, and after their
breakfast. It was such a great gift and I just love how they turned
out!
We
took a little trip to the cinema today to see the latest Star Wars
film, Rogue One. As I have mentioned in the past, I am not into sci-fy
or Star Wars, but I have to say that I enjoyed today's movie. Watching
it almost makes me want to watch the rest of the films in the series (I
saw the seventh movie last Christmas).
It
is quite hard to believe that tomorrow is the last day of December and
the final day of the year. My sister and her family are coming for an
overnight visit and I cannot wait!

I remember my sister working on a matryoshka when she was younger! Those are definitely cool gifts, and I especially love Sugar Plum's work!
