Monday Greetings !
Presenting first Monday of December Top of the Morning. A total entertaining line-up beginning with:
MONSTERA ALBO – the marvelous outside the gift box idea to WOW that someone-someone on your list who’s always a challenge to cool gift. As in the person who seems to have everything.
CANDY CANE hanging from your bird feeder? Read this little piece and find out why.
Ohhhhh — the GOOSE STORY is a total ear-to-ear smile read and also a wonder of the animal kingdom ((so to speak)) that lives among us. Or do we live among them?
The Coolest Cookie Box presetation is just that — COOLEST COOKIE BOX PRESENTATION EVER. Super impressive.
SPANISH POTATO SOUP is so on my list to make this week. What a great reading recipe. YUM
The FAB-FIVE recipes for gift giving or appetizers are Rock-Star-Status and too intriguing not to seriously consider making.
GOT A FIREPLACE? I didn’t know the benefits of this great tip of what to do with the wood ashes scooped out of the fireplace. Now I do and yes I will.
MEET SNAPPER THE CHRISTMAS TREE – Raise your hand if you’re a fan of the memorable Christmas ads that find us every season? Mine’s raised. Wait ’til ya watch this one. Greatness!
SILVER BELLS by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings is a toe-tapping delightful rendition performance. It’s a must listen.
Whoops-A-Daisy little story is a gotcha by surprise chuckle. Ha
Hope you enjoy today’s line-up as much as I did collecting and presenting.

WHOOPS
A-DAISY
And the story goes …
His request approved a pohoto-journalist quickly used his phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.
He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.
He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, “Let’s go!”
The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.
Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, “Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures on the hillsides.
“Why,” asked the pilot.
“Because I’m a photo-journalist and I need to get some close up shots for a story.”
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, then finally he stammered, “So what you’re telling me, is your not my flight instructor?”

What a great read today. I loved the black and white photo of the swimming suit girls with Santa perched on top. It was a very enjoyable study of that era. In fact I’m going back now and enjoy the look and memories again. Merry Christmas to you and thank you Daymaker.
Agree – the black and white photo of the swim suit girls with Santa is super fun.
Merry Christmas to you, Marty, and thanks for your love and support.
JOYFUL
