Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF – and A Wish

Christmas Tree

 

One more Friday bites the dust. I know a lot of companies are letting their folks go early today so it could be that the week will be history by noon. (woo woo).

Here we are only two more shopping days until Christmas Day. I hope Y’all are ready and if not, I wish you the best in keeping your panic under control. I find margaritas are very useful in this regard.

Today’s JohnKu brings you a wish for a Happy Holiday season

To those who I know,

Include those I never met. . .

Happiness to you.

  4. Have a wonderful holiday, John. Ah, I’m so glad Friday is here, but, unfortunately, our governor has chosen to be a Scrooge this year and not let folks off early. First time in a long, long time. Oh, well, we’re going camping this weekend (also, first time in a long time) and it will be nice to get off the grid for a while. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! Cheers!

  14. Have a Merry Christmas, John! I’m done with my shopping, but my husband has a few errands to run today.I have red velvet cakes to bake and frost. Other than that (and laundry) we’re good to go. I tried to bake the cakes last night, so I could frost them today, but the wine has other plans.

  20. Wishing you and yours all the joy this season can bring, John. It’s currently Christmas Eve here in the land Down Under, and my four-year-old Grandson is already setting himself up ready to catch himself a certain red-nosed reindeer. The house is filled with happiness and the smell of Christmas baking. More memories in the making.
