As the evening is too cold and icy too go anywhere, and not likely to change anytime soon, I have been busy with our Island party plans.

Playlist:
Santa Baby, Eartha Kitt
Last Christmas, George Michael
All I want for Christmas is You, Mariah Carey
Christmas in Sarajevo, Trans Siberian Orchestra
O Holy Night, Josh Groban
Grandma got Runover by a Reindeer, Elmo and Patsy

To kick things off, our craft (sand glue guns):

Sips and Nibbles:

And finally: a bag fashion show.
Howard is ready to kick things off.

Wonderful Christmas party, Murphy.
Wouldn't you know it, DH walked behind my chair JUST as I was scrolling past the picture of our "entertainment." He came to a screeching halt, backed up, took another look, rubbed his eyes, and said "What ON EARTH is that?"
"Oh, just a photo on the Purse Forum," I innocently replied.
"Those three don't look ANYTHING like handbags," he said.
Well, what could I say? When the man's right, the man's right!

He added, "We could get a kitty-shaped coin purse. Or something. To go inside."

Believe my reaction to surprise was as follows:
a) said that I felt nauseous & confused:sick::shocked:
b) burst into tears, touched about kitty idea:crybaby:
c) tore into box & announced that I had to run around garden awhile :presents:
d) ran around garden, without coat in cold, flapping arms maniacally :woot:
e) returned inside & asked, "Is there a matching wallet?":speedy:

Man was thrilled.
Seems the Boot Fairy failed in her duties.
Thanks for sharing my weird joy.:love:
