Reinholt1 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 We didn’t get hit as hard as I thought we would. But up north friends and family have close to 2 feet! Sorry about that Kash I forgot about you! Must have been that 2' wall of snow around you! ::Singing:: "In the bleak midwinter, Frosty winds made moan... Snow had fallen snow on snow.

(Since I’m in MI, too, I can cash it in myself.) Let me know how those lazy cats like chasing that laser light! My cats love it. Congratulations on the $2 winner! I think you were the only winner this year. Edited December 25, 2022 by Reinholt1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinholt1 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Finally had a quiet moment to open my Christmas gifts! Holy cow HanShotFirst! You really outdid yourself! Thank you so much! You are very generous! I received Reese's peanut butter cup candies, a Tigger squishmallow, Buzzlightyear DVD -- something I've been wanting to watch! A Chipotle gift card. Cat treats and cat footies -- that my mother has already claimed. LOL! Sadly, true to my nature,. I am equally excited about the reusable mylar gift bags they came in. Very cool! I will save them and reuse them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinholt1 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) And as an update to Coastiwife!!... It's gone! It's all gone! The coffee cakes! The candies! Gone! All gone! When I left mom, she had one lone coffee cake left from those four boxes. But you made a 92-year-old woman very happy!!

tracy0504 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Thank you so much jesusluvu!!!! This Christmas has definitely been different!!!! I live in WNY (yup, THAT city [emoji23]) and we were hit with that big storm!!!! I was literally stuck in my house by myself since the Friday before Christmas and not able to spend time with family or my kids… my daughter along with a neighbor’s son finally shoveled me out after the driving ban was lifted yesterday!!!! Annnnd this weekend is supposed to be Spring like weather [emoji19] (snow already melting)… It’s never about the gifts under the tree for me… But I’m grateful for the gift of life! I’m safe, my children/family were safe, I never lost power and had heat and plenty of food so I made my Christmas dinner and ate it while watching movies (I froze some for my son and his wife until they can get to me)…my daughter’s power went out, but she was safe in a house with power, heat and food… my boys were safe as well… I still have a ton of gifts under my tree, but I can celebrate Christmas anytime!!!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to tell my daughter that same thing because she was so upset on Christmas Eve when she woke up and reality hit that we would not be spending Christmas Eve or day with each other, no exchanging gifts, no potluck and secret Santa with the family… sadly, lives were lost during this storm, but we were alive and could get together WHENEVER… and I forgot to add, your gift was the only gift I had to open on Christmas morning!!!! I was so excited and I love everything!!!! Thank you for being a part of this group and participating in Secret Santa!!!!

tracy0504 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Due to the storm and mail not being delivered for several days, I received my last Christmas Card this past Thursday and I hung it up to enjoy with the rest of the cards!!!! Thank you, Bopeep for keeping this going ever year!!!! Some of us are presented with challenges around the holidays, but each year we manage to bring a smile to someone that we’ve never met and may never meet offline!!!! So thank you to everyone that participates each year!!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
