BIZARRE CHRISTMAS CARDS
LETTERS TO SANTA
Maybe a Motor Cycle for my Daddy with a Side Car for my Mommy. And a Moped for my ancient GrandPa And TriCycle for GrandMa so we can all go riding together
- Harley, 11, Kirksville, Missouri.
I really would like to see Jude for Christmas. Please put us together, where we belong. Christmas is painful without the one you love.
- Kiana, 21, New Orleans, Louisiana.
If a reindeer gets sick take my brother to help pull the sleigh. He's hyperactive anyway!
- Devin, 8, St. Petersburg, Florida.
Do you have to keep a car battery and some jumper cables in the back of the sleigh,you know,just incase Rudolph's nose ever goes out? Well just to be safe I'll have some extra light bulbs next to the cookies.....60 watts ok?

I like your other countries uniforms!

I hope you have a safe trip. Tell Rudolph that I don't think his nose is funny. He got that nose for that foggy Cristmas Eve to guide the sliegh.
- Jacob, 10, Conway, South Carolina.
Santa, my mom has told me that the reason you know if we are being good or bad is because you have a group of special helper elves and each one is given a child in the world to watch all year. We can't see them because they stay invisible so that they can do their job.
- Braeden, 8, Calgary, Alberta.
I am new to the internet and this is the first letter i have ever sent. This is so cool and I just wnat you to know that I've been a good boy!
- Allen, 40, Calgary, Alberta.
Dear Santa, all we want is for the new baby in Mommy's tummy to be a girl. Mommy said if she has another boy she is going to nail down the furniture!
- Kelsey, 9, Trophy Club, Texas.
I wish that I was good. I promise to be very very good. I gave a whole dollar to the Salvation Army today.
- Mo, 6, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
How is Rudolph doing? Playing reindeer games I suppose.

GARDEN UPDATE
In the 60's today and sunny. Uncovered the plants to let them have a little sunbath, but zipped up by dark.

Here are a few ideas to stimulate your creative sensibility!
*Recycle a garden hose and making it into a garden gift basket. Did you miss that blog entry? Here it is.
*Gardening clogs. They have these in SO many different colors, patterns etc.
*A unique pot filled with seed packets and cute gardening gloves
*A Western Gardening Annual Book or Farmer's Almanac
*Fill a Xmas stocking or holiday hotpad with bulbs
*Watering wand or soaker hose
*Decorated Gardening hat
*large basket for collecting blooms
*beautiful vases
*kneeling pad and garden ties
*temperature gauge
*garden stakes or art
*herb or veggie plant markers
*A Garden Diary or Garden magazines
Don't forget non-traditional places to find treasures- such as thrift stores, garage sales, Craig's List, etc. It is the off-season now, so hard to find new garden items, but some stores still have inventory they want to move for the Christmas items. Thrift stores ALWAYS have great vases and once again think of the non-traditional such as tea pots, old decorative cooking pots, baskets, galoshes or old cowboy boots, old mailboxes, tire rims, kitchen canisters, etc. Pretty much go in there with an open mind to anything and you'll be amazed by what you can think of to plant something in!
Don't forget the dollar stores as well. They have great garden knick-knacks as well as live plants, bulbs, potting soil, pots and fertilizer spikes.
Another much appreciated gift would be a gift certificate to one of the larger mail-order or online flower stores. This way your recipient can happily browse at home with catalogs way before the season starts.
A photo album is also a great idea to document those beautiful blooms and hearty veggies they will be planting. Also, a gift certificate to an online photo sharing place is also a thought.
To use all those healthy veggies and herbs wisely, look for cookbooks or cooking magazines. If they have fruit trees, jam or jelly jars or canning accessories are also happily received. You can even order personalized jar labels with their name on them!
They now make herb combination baskets that have a variety of herbs in them. Some are windowbox types and others are in baskets. Put your own combination together with a pretty basket and some herb seeds.
Let your imagination run wild and anything you find is sure to be enjoyed!
