My sister Jo and I have long made a fun game of pointing out things in shops, prior to Christmas, that we are going to get each other for Christmas - tongue in cheek, of course. And since we aren't together as often as we'd like, here are three photos I've texted to her with no message and her response. :)
- She said, "What IS that???" A crazy punch bowl, I think.
- She replied that she could hang that in her dining room. A framed Last Supper rug - amazing that someone thought to make that.
- I sent this with the message, "I crack myself up!" She replied, "You are too funny!" Me, "That's going to look so good on you!" One year another relative gave her a sweater with a fuzzy neck like that and she felt she had to wear it at least once. :)
She was frantically wrapping all of the Christmas presents last Friday, in anticipation of the grandsons visiting - she needed to have all of her time to be with them. She asked in the same text message if I remembered all those trips down to be with them on Christmas Eve and that I sat on the floor with her in a closed room and helped to finish wrapping all the presents. That happened year after year - I thought it was fun. She said that was a good memory and that, "You are the best sister ever!" I replied - "No - you are!"

You are each as fortunate as the other. Wonderful sisters, you are...and you have wonderful memories and will make so many more. Good luck to you both. And a Merry Christmas to you and your family, Lynn. May 2016 treat you all kindly. :)
Sisters are the only people who truly "get" us aren't they?
Have a Merry Christmas, Lynn!!
It is fun when you can play games with siblings... I used to love buying my brother's kids loud toys!
What fun! Love that crazy punch bowl and cups.
You are the best sister ever! No, you are!
LOVE that!
I can't do that to my sister, I have TWO of them! :-)
They are both the best!
Merry Christmas, my Georgia friend!
Marry Christmas

Those are fun pics! I put fuzzy beads to decorate my window.
Mostly if we can we call on the Eve or Day, send cards n photos. Presents for the kids only, we are so broke just doing that! Hope Monroe has fun- n Mina too
May God Bless you and your family for the holiday visits- Have a Merry Christmas!
Aw, you and your sisters are so sweet to each other!
And fuzzy vests are EVERYWHERE this winter. They are the in thing for fashionable ladies, I guess. If that makes me unfashionable, so be it!
Aww! I love the exchange between you and your sister. Dear God, did you buy that fluffy thing?
