Had to giggle at this one...I too, gifted my daughters with a funny Christmas story. Lonny and I loved Stuart McLean and miss his Christmas shows so much. I was feeling nostalgic and decided that I would read the forward from the Christmas at the Vinyl Cafe book for grace before Christmas dinner...of course I could not get through it without getting verklempt and sobbing through the whole thing...making a bit of a "fool" of myself, quite appropriately, as it turns out.

"But we are all foolish in our own little ways. And never luckier than when we can admit it to ourselves, and to the others around us. Never more loved, nor more loving, than when we come together in foolishness and say to one another, I love you all the same. There are many good times, but those are the best. And there isn't a better time for foolish love than during these dark days of winter." Stuart McLean

Christmas without our moms is not easy, I love how you have kept your moms tradition alive with the silly hats! I felt that my moon popped into my body this year as i I found myself making the crowns from tissue paper and some home made poppers ( not saying they will be perfect but it’s the thought right?!) Have a blessed Christmas with family and all the best in the new year! Xo
