My family always called that Little Christmas; but I'm not sure how that got started for us.
Love it! I don't take enough advantage of all the coloring books in my house! Maybe that can be my New Years resolution?
That is really great!!
Everything arrived perfectly! And, I know how fragile starfish can be when shipping, but he got here all in one piece. Actually, I'm thinking about hanging him from my car's review mirror and not wait until next Christmas to use him....he is so cute!
Oh YAY, I'm so glad everything arrived in one piece.I was kind of worried about the starfish. And I'm glad the dog treats were good, I've never bought treats for dogs before! LOL Pop-rocks in the chocolate? Definitely not, though honestly I can't think what that might be. Which one was that? You said DH liked peanut butter but I'm not a good baker and thought you all would be better off with something NOT baked by me!
Oh, that is SO sweet!!
Little Christmas is the feast of the 3 Kings, or the Epiphany, when the 3 kings gave their gifts to the baby Jesus. From my understanding, some religions use that date (Jan 6) as the day for giving gifts, and Dec 25 as a religious holiday to remember the birth of Christ. In our house, decorations never came down before Jan 7, which sometimes meant they stayed up until almost Feb.
Oh! Popping candy, I did not see that part.

The chocolate bar I was referring to was the "Pop Corn Pop" by Chuao (red and white packaging). The back explains it is a mix of puffed whole grains, toasted corn chips, popping candy, sea-salt and milk chocolate. You "close your eyes, take a bite, and experience popcorn popping in your mouth". Don't get me wrong, we love it! I just kind of freaked me out on the first bite. Never had a popping candy bar before.
That's how it used to be for us with our decorations. Now we have an early January baby in the house so they have to come down before party decorations can go up! Motivation I guess!!

ETA: I tried to find an aussie for it; but the only ones I could find would have been gigantic inside it! I guess then it would have been a very fancy Christmas dog house! lol
Love all of the up close pics of it; it is adorable! A lot of our friends/family have cats, so they have all had a nice laugh over it! | haha I have the most difficult time finding Aussie things lol!
Sorry Hun, I was SS to Betsy (BetsyGee) this year!
cheylink's gift came from you, cheylink was siyvaleah's secret santa (see highlighted portion above).
You've got it right!
Well I'm going to drop the more obvious hint that if it had a US postmark; it was NOT from Pollyanna!Hmmmmm...... I wonder of it was from me?
