When I bought the outdoor porch rug that lights up and plays music, my hubs said the music was "annoying." (Bah, humbug.) I step on it and laugh because I LOVE it! ha! Nice post today, too, Donna.

When the kiddos were younger we would put their shoes out on the 5th and when they told their friends at school St. Nicholas came, some of their friends felt left out because St. Nick came the following evening.Donna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-82712748229238982112016-12-10T23:33:55.074-06:002016-12-10T23:33:55.074-06:00Hi Marcia,
