I got most of my Christmas shopping done today. I don't have a lot of people to buy gifts for, so it is quite easy. I do try to get people things that I know will be useful to them. Not useful like dishes or batteries or a flashlight or something like that. Useful but fun, too!

So now comes the wrapping of the presents and the making of the Christmas cards. How exciting! I do love the Christmas season. I love Christmas carols, and I love Christmas presents and Christmas cookies. Just have to find a little free time to get it all done! Every year I try to personalize all of my cards, but luckily I don't make too many, so I usually have time for that.

Meanwhile, the ponies are fat and fuzzy. The ground is frozen outside, and the pastures are pretty much dead. They like to nibble the frozen grass, though, and I wonder just how good that is for them. People say frozen grass has a lot of sugar, so it can be bad for them. Hmmm...
