Fact: A 2014 survey from Japan-based online retailer Rakuten found three-quarters of Americans didn’t like their holiday gifts, with one-third choosing to regift, 27 percent donating to charity, and 14 percent cutting their losses and selling while the item still had value.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some bad news; one of the elves is missing; His name is Dimples!<\/p>\n

What can we do??<\/p><\/div>\n

We were up early again as the cleaning folks were due in at 8:15 AM, and Mary wanted to shower before they arrived.\u00a0 I felt a little daring, so I asked Mary, “Why don’t you ever see Santa in the hospital?” She mulled it over, and being a doctor; she immediately replied, “Because he has private elf care!”<\/p>\n

Why is it getting harder to buy Advent calendars?\u00a0 Their days are numbered!<\/p>\n

It was (;15 AM when Scout came over to remind me to take him to the beauty parlor.\u00a0 He wanted to be pretty for Christmas!\u00a0 I dropped him off at 9:30 AM and then dropped by Albertson’s doe some puffed pastry and a few other essentials.<\/p>\n

I retrieved Scout about noon; he pranced around the house like a new doggie and smelled great!\u00a0 However, he knew something was up when he saw us getting ready for the 114th Annual Newport Christmas Boat Parade,<\/a><\/p>\n

Mary got us on the water tickets for the parade\/\u00a0 We went with our neighbor Jeff and Irene met us there.<\/p>\n

\"\"

It was a bit on the cool side!<\/p><\/div>\n

We had dinner and a couple of drinks before the parade started.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We so enjoy each other’s company!<\/p><\/div>\n

Irene got caught up in traffic but decided to meet us at the Legion and had a great time!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Great fun with friends!<\/p><\/div>\n

We didn’t see all of the parade; we were too caught up in enjoying life and sharing stories.\u00a0 The crowd was delightful, and I invited the folks next to us, Beverly and Bill, to New Years at the Elks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
