Wishing for some Christmas Magic

We got bad news yesterday. My SIL, 29 weeks pregnant, turned very, very ill and was instantly hospitalized. It was a close call and as I write, I’m waiting for some news about how it all turned out with mother and child after emergency c-section this afternoon. I’m wishing for some Christmas Magic for them, a smooth recovery and a healthy baby boy.

I still have some Christmas preparations to do. Tonight I’ll be cooking and baking cookies. And wrap the last presents. It’s good to be occupied. Late yesterday night, when waiting for more news I was making a last minute card for our secretary. The 365 cards challenge – to make a wreath - was PERFECT for me with all the small items to glue together keeping my mind off thinking. And I like how it turned out. Sorry for bad photo – I had to bring it to work and sneak out to take it to get some daylight.God Jul MonicaTake care!
