Saturday Puzzle-Contest: Advent begins tomorrow!
Saturday, November 30th, 2024

UPDATE: The winner is…Charlene!
*~*~*

Yes, Thanksgiving is barely over, and I’m already looking toward Christmas! Thanksgiving was lovely here. The daughter outdid herself so far as the meal was concerned. We’re eating the last of the leftovers today. Tonight, we’re eating Haluski because we can’t face another day of “buzzard” leftovers. Don’t know what Haluski is? It’s so simple—egg noodles, fried cabbage, and kielbasa sausage all mixed together. We add some Frank’s sauce to spice it up. Yum! Simple, but filling. Then we’re watching a Christmas movie, probably Jack Black’s Dear Santa.

Every day, counting down from the 1st to the 24th of December, I’ll give away a small prize on my Friends page on Facebook. If you aren’t already a friend, you can head over here to join: Delilah’s Friend Page. You can also join Delilah’s Corner group and post your entries there. When you comment on my daily FB advent posts, you’ll be entered to receive a small, simple prize, whether it’s a signed book, a hand-painted (by me!) bookmark, or a pretty beaded pen.

Let me know if you plan to follow the daily giveaways for a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card here! Enjoy the puzzle!

 

A quick note: I’m healing well from my surgery to remove my chemo port. My daughter has to change out my bandages, including packing the chest wound (it is as gross as it sounds) twice daily. Other than that little bit of discomfort (PAIN!), we’re going about business as usual. I see the oncologist again next Monday to see when chemo resumes.

    I plan to look everyday. I love advent calendars. My daughter used to get me the Harry Potter Lego advent calendar every year. This year will be different.

    I always try to follow them, but FB doesn’t always let me know when someone posts and remembering every day to go to an extra page is sometimes beyond what my tired brain can handle. 😀

    I do plan to follow, but life does get in the way. I had a friend who had a port for dialysis. It is quite serious. Glad you are doing better.

    When I was young and being raised by a single mother, my mom would pick stuff up all year long.So on December 1st, I would get one present a day up until December 25th, which would be the big present, like a game. The other days I would get a coloring book, jacks, crayons, just small stuff. I will be following you all month, like usual.
