Today is Rudolph Day!

[AnnieClaus]

My evening Rudy Day activities are about to begin!

I am going to work on my Valentines Day Exchange Cards while listening to a Christmas CD.

Off I go..........

Today I watched Little Women with Winona Ryder. I love that movie! Love the way their house looks in the Christmas scenes. I neatened up my notebook some, and thought about gifts for this year. Some of the things I want to make just keep rolling over from year to year in my notebook -- can't seem to get around to making them. Maybe I can get going early enough this year to get more done. That's easy to say on the first Rudolph Day of the year, isn't it? Oh, well, hope springs eternal!

I forgot to mention that we had a family here for brunch yesterday that we've been trying to get together with since Christmas! We actually exchanged Christmas gifts yesterday! I felt like I should take their gifts out of the Christmas gift bag and put it in a Valentine bag! We had a lovely time. No decorations were left, but it felt like Christmas anyway.

what a way to get into Rudy Day, with the exchanging gifts...lol

I always celebrate Rudy day with DD9,DH thinks I'm crazy LOL! But we had a lovely Rudy Day and after burning my candle our house smelt so Christmassy. I think for February's Rudy Day I might also put out one of my Christmas ornaments. I have one of Santa standing beside a fireplace so I think I'll use that. DH will think I've finally lost it!

I can't believe it!

My First Rudolph Day with MHH and I was so busy at work, I forgot! I remembered this morning. I was going to wear Red, watch a Christmas movie last evening and start planning. Instead, I worked all day, went home and cleaned the bathroom, fixed dinner and got ready for today. I did go through the magazines while I was cleaning the bathroom. Gee wiz! I'll have to be more aware next month!

Pumpkinpie - You can still do those things today, tomorrow or this weekend! As SparkleNana reminds us - it is the act of doing something Christmassy, not necessarily the day. There is time - join in!

 

[Pumpkinpie]

Well said.

You're absolutely right! I will definitely celebrate Rudolph Day then today or even tomorrow. Maybe both days! I'll wear my Red tomorrow, watch a movie tonight and burn a Christmas candle. Thanks Kim for the suggestion.

can't believe it has been 1 month since Christmas,. It has been a busy time here. For January Rudy day I sorted through my gift closet and made lists.(Don't you love lists)?
I already have quite a bit in the closet for stockings as I have been stocking up on non perishables such as deodorants and shampoos, bubblebath etc.
Looked back at my notebook for last year and asked the kids what they liked/disliked about their stockings and gifts. Got some useful feedback.
All in all a very productive Rudy day for me.

I agree, Christmaslvr -- momof9 had a pretty incredible Rudy Day!!!!!

I've discovered that I don't want rudy Day to be over. Maybe I'll be able to do a little bit more today...... AND....... they are predicting snow for this weekend!

momof9 - that's a VERY productive Rudy Day!!! I hope you're feeling better.

As it happens, we had a blackout last night and after securing both boys in the TV room, I ran around the house gathering candles -wouldn't you know - they were all CHRISTMAS-scented candles. My 4yo was so excited. he said, "See, Mommy, Christmas isn't over yet!"

Thanks for caring everyone. I thought I was feeling better today and tried to run some errands. I ended up sicker! I have a feeling though that I just need one night's good sleep and I will feel better.
