Happy December...Keep Calm, You Have 25 Days!!!


Yes ma'am...December is here! All the fun of the holidays is in full swing, and that means busy, busy, busy at my house. Maybe you started your holiday shopping in July like my Granny used to do (honestly, she probably started December 26th), or maybe you're just making your list, or maybe you just have a few hostess gifts to find, or ornaments to have for the exchange. If you have ANY shopping left to do (or even if you don't), be sure to head to Christ Church on Saturday for their Annual Christmas Bazaar. Don't miss "wonderful vendors, fantastic handcrafted gifts, fabulous holiday greenery, Christmas decorations and delicious homemade foods to get you in the Christmas spirit." The Christmas Bazaar is Saturday, December 6th, 9:30am-1:00pm. 

Blessings,
The Buzz
