Pre-Christmas Preparations

Fiorella is preparing to get prepared for Christmas. No, she hasn't unloaded the shelves in the garage yet or dragged in the venerable Christmas tree, but she has started amassing a pile of gold medallions that used to contain chocolate on the dining room table, otherwise known as Command Central. Yeah, Fio may be trying to downsize the house in general, but when it comes to Christmas, she keeps coming up with new and wonderful ideas, like pasting those gold Russell Stover chocolate bar wrappers that she collects onto a pieces of paper to keep the wrappers from tearing. Hmm...chocolate medallions, chocolate bars--do you sense a pattern?

Fio's planning to use those sparkly silver pipe cleaners to tie her outdoor swags onto supports placed along the driveway again. She's also bought packages of the twisties in other colors to fasten those gold medallions to the tree she's going to decorate in the south meadow. No chocolate involved there.

Good news for the poets among you--Fio's Christmas sonnet is almost finished.

It's the time of year when Fiorella feels the urge to get together with friends she hasn't seen for a while, but Former Friend is not on her list. Fio wishes her well, but, sadly, thinks FF has played this game brfore and will never find a friend who satisfies her.

Husband has put a toy drone on his Santa list. Fiorella has a new chainsaw on hers. Think about it.
