Twelfth Night

I was browsing in the Christmas store, everything on sale 75% off and found, to my delight, miniature Christmas stockings. I have been looking for miniature stockings for a while, because I want to use them for Twelfth Night. I bought them and put my plan into effect.

The idea is, on Twelfth Night, we have one last mini-Christmas fling. I make a nice dinner (and we used the occasion to use for the first time that gold-edged china I just got from my sister that originally belonged to my great-grandmother). By each place setting, I put the miniature stocking, filled with last minute Christmas sale stuff: candies, post-it notes, chocolates, a couple little toys for the girls. Everything under $20, total. On Christmas Eve, Santa fills the stocking, I told the girls. Twelfth Night, we fill it for each other.

Of course, I was a day late. This was really epiphany, not Twelfth Night. Never mind. We'll do it on the correct day next year. And it was fun. One last mini celebration.

Yawn. Up late, for a board meeting for HP Education Fanon, the group that is running hp_orlando. Will be nodding off tomorrow at work.

Cheers,
Peg
