Usually my Christmas break involves baking, family time, game playing, long walks, rest, catching up on home projects, an After-Christmas party, and a lot of quiet puttering. This year? Not quite. Oh well, might as well laugh. Here is my Christmas break, by the numbers.

Reading, blogging, eating, planning. Sorry you've not been well!
Happy new year, dear one.
Hope you get to feeling better Happy New Years
The bad news, I've had sinus/ear/nose gunk since Thanksgiving. *Sigh! Get better, Relyn. Not exactly a dream Christmas, but one you will remember!
Oh, my. I hope you are soon well and will have a terrific New Year.
Reading, eating, cooking, cleaning, not blogging :(. Enjoyed your numbers. Except for the sick part--that stinks!
Although the sick part is definitely not a good thing, the reading and watching and blog-visiting sound pretty good. I'm guessing that you're feeling better? I hope so!
oh Relyn, wishing you a *healthy* new year in light of your little post here....
All the best to you, Relyn....thanks for making this bright spot in an otherwise sometimes not so bright world....
grateful for the gift of you,
love,

2013 are the numbers on my mind.
Wishing you a bright beautiful New year full of sparkle and shine for us all. Much love my dear friend.
I love your postings.
Love you
Jeanne
Happy new year! I hope 2013 is filled with magic and sparkle xxx
Oh Relyn I am sorry it has been such a wash out. I hope 2013 will start with more excitement and fun! All the best for the new year.
Hope you and your family are feeling better now, it's not fun being sick any time, but at Christmas it just seems worse.
Have a Happy New Year!
Have a blessed New Year that is not as numbered as this post! You are an inspiration!

Oh Relyn, I am so sorry you've been sick. Hopefully everyone is recovering quickly.
This photograph is absolutely beautiful. The lights and the softness are simply perfection.
I wish you and your family a very Happy (and healthy!) New Year. I am so glad to have met you here this year.
xo.
Sorry to hear that you guys were sick over Christmas and hope that you are all feeling better! I wanted to stop by and say thanks for all the awesome things you share here...and the sweet comments...i am glad that I had the chance to meet you in this vast internet world...
:)
Simply beautiful photo!
Oh my, you certainly need a whole lot of Good Wishes for the New Year! It HAS to be better, doesn't it? -sigh- Hope all health returns...
Thank you for your wishes for a Happy New Year, left in my blog.
Happy New Year's Eve to you, as well!
OK, I can't believe you iron when you're sick. :I
And I know what you mean. . . various families with my family send out Smileboxes after Christmas; it's our way of being close when we're far away. I didn't make one this year, but it made me laugh to think of the pictures that would be in it! :)
So sorry that you've been down for so long. Illness in December is tough. But soon enough it'll be January and you'll feel better. I just know it.
Here's wishing you a happy & healthy new year. You deserve it.
Oh my...so sorry you've been sick! Here's to a happy, healthy new year. I'll be thinking of you. And looking forward to more blog posts!
GET WELL!!
Love and hugs, Kirsten
Well my very special blogging friend, I wish you a very very healthy and happy 2013.
Big hugs
Peggy ♥♥♥
I hope everyone is well now! Happy New Year!
Relyn,
OMG, I've been sick too. When I read this post I was thinking I so identify with this list. Although I don't know what I'd have done without the 4 seasons of Mad Men I've consumed on netflix over this past week. I hope you are feeling better as I am now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I'm glad I've had the time off to deal with getting better. I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year! I've been so blessed to have you in my blogging life.
Hugs,
Karen
Oh my goodness, after reading your list I can't remember what I have done. I know I have washed some laundry, left blog comment, consumed many cough drops and cold medicine, wrapped in a quilt, and read. Been home alot too and had to miss church right before Christmas. Hope we are all getting better.
Happy New Year, Relyn! I wish you and your family GOOD HEALTH in 2013.
Well, your Christmas holidays didn't turn out as expected - being sick sucks! It's great that you kept your sense of humour throughout it all. And you had time to read and listen to books-on-cd. That's also good! And you had time to blog and visit blogs - something I'm hoping to do much more of in January. And with just 1 shopping day with your mom and Sloane throughout the holiday month - you saved money! Also good!
I hope January has you feeling healthy, refreshed and inspired for the New Year, Relyn.
you're funny and clever
even in your suffering:)
here is hoping for your numbers
to get sweeter!
-Jennifer
Oh goodness! Here is hoping that quickly in 2013 everyone is back up to speed.
So sorry to read how poorly you have all been :(. Hoping you are over the worst ... Your tree is a beacon of brightness in the midst of it all.
my dear friend,
i really hope you have been feeling better. i am keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
xoxo
hey you. stepping in after a brief hiatus to say hello...i'm so glad to be catching up on your words. :-)
happy holidays to you and your beautiful family...
xo
Holy cow -- now THAT is a boatload of magazines and Numb3rs and Advil. nd to think you've all been laid up. My dear, that's a wretched way to spend a holiday but the good thing is that you can now look on it in the past. Lovely photo -- as always!
