Hey, that ornament looks familiar 😉
Great episode! Thanks.
Thanks for the lovely compliment, Corey! Yes, we were certain you’d recognize that ornament… it has pride of place on our tree each year now. 🙂
Hi Travis,
Just wanted to let you know I was your secret santa! Hope you gift arrived on time and in one piece!
Happy New Year
Kim
Go raibh mile maith agat! Thank you for the lovely ornament, Kim! When we set up our tree next year, it will take its rightful place near the shamrock ornament we received from Irish Fireside (a photo of which appears with this blog post)…
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas. Slan! Travis
And Kathy would like to thank her Secret Santa, Laury from California, for the lovely bell full of Ferrero Roche treats! Unfortunately, they didn’t last long enough to even take a photo, but they were enjoyed by family! 😉
