CHRISTMAS EVE AT MY APART, HELMINENS AND NICARAGUAN FRIENDS, 2022

AXEL 

MARGIE, LEAH AND I

A FUN GAME OF UNO WITH LOTS OF LAUGHING

ME AND TONI



 

THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON,  SOMEONE STARTED LEAVING A PACKAGE OUTSIDE MY DOOR
AT FIRST I WAS PUZZLED….AT THE NEXT DAY I REALIZED IT WAS THE START OF THE SONG “THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS”
 So here are all the days…I tried to keep them order but this computer wouldn’t cooperate, but you will get the drift!
ON THE FIRST  DAY OF CHRISTMAS, A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE, SECOND, TWO TURTLE DOVES……

 





Yesterday there were  3 little pkgs outside my door.  This morning these were there!  Three French hens????  OH! I’m catching on…I opened yesterday pkgs…verrrry interesting!!  I imagine I’ll get 6 eggs for geese alaying 😁

 

FIVE GOLDEN RINGS (jar rings, ha ha)

FOUR CALLING BIRDS

 


Ok, here we go again…someone is putting the 12 days of Christmas outside my door…they are in order….today was 6 geese a-laying….I’m still laughing….the goose kinda looks like my patio rooster and the eggs are in front…erp!  Well the idea is still there! I’m still chuckling!

 



Continuing 12 days of Christmas, this is EIGHT MAIDS A-MILKING…..a glove going through the position of milking …and it’s whipping cream going into the pail on the 8th day!  Took me a few minutes to figure it out, and as usual, I’m laughing !!  Talk about fun!

NINE LADIES DANCING (sorry, out of order)

SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMING Continuing the mysterious things put outside on my door daily, doing the 12 days of Christmas….SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMMING outside my door today!!! In real water, in a cake pan…😁


 



10 LORDS A-LEAPING

11 PIPERS PIPPING


TWELVE DRUMMERS DRUMMING

 Now this depicts 12 drummers drumming…the song “the 12 days of Christmas “ is complete, with someone dropping the proper day gift at my door. This particular little angel candle holder has been regifted back and forth between my daughter Margaret and I, for many years, we dressed it for special occasions and always a surprise…birthday , welcome home, cancer survivor, etc.  so I was totally surprised to see our angel holding the drum!  What a perfect ending to this mystery/song!  I was standing in the hall talking to my neighbor when my gr/son Calvin dropped the pkg at my door….he took off running but it was too late…the ones behind this was Calvin, Marika and Margaret!  Thanks a whole bunch! Many enjoyed this saga.  Ho hoho, Merry Christmas
