Ode to Joy

This is a beautiful 'Ode to Joy' videograph that will relieve your stress if nothing else!  I heard it was filmed in Croatia.

The weather has turned colder and some people are already in their winter coats.  I have located most of the gloves and scarves we now need.   Soon it will be time to put the snow tires on the cars.  Yes, it's late fall.

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  Sorry to offend, I know, it's barely past Halloween!  I admit I have a few pieces on mail order due to arrive any day soon for daughter L and son K.  Last year, I gave them gift cards and I got the impression that they prefer actual gifts.  How about you, do you prefer actual gifts?

  1. I started humming as soon as I saw the title! I will look at the video now. I am still looking for my gloves, as it is cold and wet here! Valerie

  2. What a lovely video! I'm so glad you planed it first thing in the morning. It got my day off to a good start :)

    I haven't started any Christmas shopping yet, but I have started thinking and planning for it. I usually ask my girls what they want. They give me a list and I pick and choose from it. It's not exactly a surprise, but they are very happy to receive things they really want or need.

  3. Beautiful video to wake up to! I wish I plan to start my Christmas shopping early this year. It would be nice to relax in the month of December just picking up little things here and there without any pressure. Have a beautiful day!

  5. We've gone back and forth with buying gifts or gift cards. Now that some of the family lives out of town it's hard to know what they need or want. If they don't give me some guidance I'd prefer to get them a gift card and let them pick out something that works for them.

  6. No, I have started on Christmas shopping yet, but I don't have too many to buy for either! Stay warm!

  7. I think both are great! Gifts are more difficult to choose, but sometimes you can find something for someone that they'd want that they wouldn't otherwise think they would... Gift cards are a safe bet, either way, I know the person put thought and love into their gift and that's really all that matters...

  11. I did find one thing in the store the other day that I think Hubby will enjoy. But I wasn't sure if it would fit in his office so when he is not home I'll figure that bit out.
