I do love it when Hanukkah and Christmas are around the same time. Since I celebrate both.
Of course, Christmas is much more festive.
Gotta love ChatGPT!
In case you missed it on FB and IG, here is this year’s card:
Last Week –
- Sunday – Since my granddaughter would be visiting her other grandparents on Christmas Day, we had breakfast with her this morning and gave her our gifts.
After that HUGE breakfast, I was thrilled that my friend Jenny asked me to go for a walk with her.
And I worked off enough calories (maybe) to be able to go to my SIL’s for dinner.
- Monday – WFH this week. Hooray.
I started off the day at the gym and then After work, I got in a short run before another predicted snowfall…
- Tuesday – I kept waiting for the snow… It never arrived… just some drizzling so I able to go out to dinner to belatedly celebrate my BFF’s birthday.
- Wednesday – WFH (and I slept in instead of going to the gym although my cat woke me up at 4 am so I didn’t really sleep…)
Today Jenny and I were able to squeeze in a short WINDY run during lunch.
How did I celebrate Christmas Eve?
Eating leftovers and binge watching the rest of the Emily in Paris episodes.
yes, I know it’s very silly and unrealistic but I love the fashion, food and sights…
- Thursday – DAY OFF – Christmas Day!
Looking ahead to the weekend weather, I decided to get in my long run since my family dinner was not until 3 pm. Jenny who was training for Tokyo joined me for some of her miles. She ran 12 miles and I did 8 (with some big hills!!) Thanks again to AI for making it look like Christmas. LOL
- Friday- WFH again… finally dragged myself to the gym.
I had planned on skipping mah jongg in favor of a Boxing Day party with the hubby.
But it got cancelled due the impending snowstorm.
- Saturday – LONG RUN and Brunch. Luckily, I had already done my long run on Thursday.
And yes, we did get that snowstorm…
I waited until my hubby cleared our driveway, bundled up (as it was FREEZING) and headed to UAlbany where I hoped there would be a clear path or road to run on.
- Sunday – Run w/friends, nail appt, ???

Happy Holidays! It looks like you made the most of it. I bet it was fun with your granddaughter–she’s such a fun age!
Enjoy all that snow! We have no snow currently and are in the middle of a big rainstorm. Sigh

I don’t ski so the snow was not welcome… rain coming tomorrow.

Happy Holidays! That sunrise is stunning! We haven’t watched the new season of Emily in Paris yet — maybe that’s what we will do on NYE!

It sounds like you had a wonderful Hanukkah and Christmas, Darlene! Isn’t it fun during the holidays with a grandchild? So much fun!
That snowstorm just missed us and started just north of where we live. We did get a little bit of sleet, though…

I am not at all on board with the AI stuff. I’m so grumpy about it lol. The pics are fun and great but not for me.
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas! I hope it was a wonderful holiday for yoU!

It looks like you had a great time for your holidays! I like when Hanukkah and Christmas are close, too – we didn’t see my parents for it this year, but we will make sure to do it next year.
I am so grumpy about AI – I think everyone’s pics come out cute, but I just don’t do it.
