LauraGB Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 You may only bring good things with you, such as nice bread, good cheese, a joke, some flowers (even if you picked them from the ditch - I don't care), a smile, even a half bottle of wine. You may stay out if you only have crap to offer to my happy place gathering. In my happy place you will find soothing colors like pale blues and greens, maybe some yellow (which I don't love, but it is pleasant). The air smells of lavender and roses, but not so much so it overwhelms. And I have really great, fluffy pillows. And fun jazz is softly playing in the background. Will you join me? Take a breath after the hectic holidays and relax... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iucounu Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 So if I picked up some flowers in a ditch, and they have crap on them, that would be okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 So if I picked up some flowers in a ditch, and they have crap on them, that would be okay? No. Absolutely not. No crap is allowed. Not even on the shoes. All crap must be left outside. I may thank you for the flowers and the thought, but they will not be allowed inside. Sorry for any inconvenience. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I will share a relaxing soak in the hot tub and some delicious chocolate/almond bar thingys. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'm relaxing with my hand me down flat panel monitor and a nice wintry Sting CD. I'm picturing a concert in the snow. We are in a glass dome watching the snow hit the ceiling and we are warm as we swing in a hammocks. The hammocks are crowded with fluffy pillows and warm fleece throws. The acoustics are perfect. Ah, they're bringing around the hot chocolate now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll bring my Baileys with an extra shot of Jack for some kick. Btw, blue and green is my favorite color combination. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Can I bring my kitty to snuggle with? I'll also add in some big floor pillows, yummy chocolate, and some candles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 :):):) And cats are most certainly welcome - my own cat and my two dogs are very cozy, passed out cold, and snuggled in. All is well in The Happy Place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll bring the puppy that, for the 4th Christmas in a row, I didn't get :glare: some percocet, and some Jack Daniels. And my Enya CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll bring my new ipod docking station that changes colors with the beat-very calm, soothing colors, half a bottle of leftover wine and some chocolate cookies that taste like brownies. Thanks for inviting me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll bring my fluffy Golden Retriever who loves to warm up cold feet and a delicious pan of Ree's warm Cinnamon Rolls with the maple/coffee icing that we were going to give to the neighbors. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll bring my fuzzy green blanket and will nap in a corner. I'm not being anti-social - I'm just really tired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Can I come? I'll bring what is left of the delicious Malbec dh and I just discovered and my brand new copy of Pride and Prejudice on Blu-ray. Surely Mr. Darcy is invited to the happy place.

Impish Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'm allergic to lavendar, so I'll lob in a box of chocolates and wave with my nose pressed against the window. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisemomof4 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 thanks for the invite. That sounds WONDERFUL!!! I am *exhausted* and am glad to join you.

I got my sisters each a copy of Pride and Prejudice and then wished I had picked myself up a copy too. :001_smile: I'm bringing some Lambic, a plate of warm brownies, and an ear that's happy to listen to nice stories. It's been a long week and a half so I'd love to hear everyone's nice Christmas stories. Don't worry about me if I'm just sitting and listening without joining in. Sometimes I'm shy and sometimes I'm just content to be in nice company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Laurie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I'll bring Heineken. I'm drinking it right now though, needing to recover from the crappiest Christmas ever. But I'll save a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy in Australia Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Oh, what a lovely idea! I'm bringing our weather: 87°F, bright blue sky, gentle breeze and our pool which is sparkling thanks to DS15's hard work all week :) I just thought I'd bring some balance to the cold and snow :D I also have half a jug of Campari slushi to further mellow the mood :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedClams Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I will be the tall lady in puffy pajama pants, though I will bring a bookshelf so as not to scare anyone. I will bring every carb in my house, because I love y'all and not because I am throwing them all out in the morning. I will bring jokes, too, because I'm good like that. I will also bring my Kuerig and, like, 200 pods in all flavors.... Ooops - there's probably no "like" in your happy place. There is not in mine. :-) I will speak well and kindly there. Thank you for the invitation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamrachelle Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 SWM is indeed tall... and I happen to love her pajama puffy pants.:D Me? I've got a half a baked brie with apricot preserves and toasted almonds on top. And crackers. Lots and lots of crackers... BTW, SWM... I'd like an English Breakfast tea with cream and sugar... heavy on the cream. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iquilt Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We need quilts, lots of cozy homemade quilts :). And a nice hot pot of Peppermint Tea with a touch of sugar to enjoy along with the chocolate! My guests go home this morning and then I get to spend reality putting my house back together. It was a lovely holiday weekend but dh goes back to work and I could easily stress out over everything I have let go to get caught up.
