Oh a Valentine Tea would be soooo sweet! Also, I know you fret and worry about the Christmas Tea, but so many people, including me, would miss it. smiles and hugs, Linda
Sounds like it was a great time spent with so many treasured friends. A Valentine Tea would be so neat. I'm sure your customers and friends would miss your company as much as you theirs if you did not do this. i remember one Christmas not too many years ago, I did not participate in the program at church, or some of the other activities that go along with Christmas so that we could have a less stressful holiday. Just wasn't the same as we found these things were what made Christmas important. Rest up and you will be ready come Feb. Enjoy the holidays.

Oh, I so hear you in me (or me in you??) - I've resigned myself to the fact that there will be no holiday baking this year, and minimal decorating - and it makes me sad....And we will not be hosting the family Christmas Eve celebration - that should be a relief and a weight lifted - but somehow, I feel like I'm going to be missing it all....Hope your week is off to a wonderful start....Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
