Inspirational Sunday Party; Laughter Is The Best Medicine 6

I actually went with more of "cute" today rather than funny but I think the last one is pretty humorous.

FORTY WINKS GIFT GUIDE; Upcycled on Etsy

I long for forty winks... In this day and age it is so often that people are having troubles sleeping and I am no different from the rest.  We are in a state of go, go, go throughout the day to the point we feel we may drop but when it is time for bed... BOING! the second wind kicks in.  The mind races, an incomplete chore list runs through your head,  and then the all to familiar question pops up, "Did I remember to put away the  ____" (fill in the blank.)  Sound familiar? 

Staying with a nightly sleep routine is very important to ensure a complete and quality rest.  Turning off the laptop, the TV, the phone and quieting the mind can be hard but it is absolutely necessary to get into a good routine.  When you do finally establish a routine (whatever it is) it seems that your subconscious mind recognizes that routine and says "Oh, she's brushed her teeth, took a shower, and has the lavender sitting on the night table it is time for bed."  We automatically start to feel sleepy and the mind usually quiets without much effort.

So I broke my routine last night and Wow! what a night.  So within my state of grogginess and sleep on my mind I thought that Forty Winks would make a great little gift guide.  Give the gift of rest and sleep:

Wait A Minute Mister Postman; Postcard Party 8

A Christmas state of mind; what images do the holidays conger in your mind?  I am not sure if it is because I grew up where everything was covered in a thick blanket of snow by the time Christmas arrived or if it was the influence of television, advertisement, and Martha Stewart that makes it so the only images of the Holidays I relate to are those where I am frozen. 

I have lived in California for almost 6 years now and I still find it delightfully strange that in mid November I'm still in flip flops and short sleeved blouses.  And it does feel like Christmas; beautiful decorations throughout the towns, the Parade of Lights, and the Christmas tunes are all amazing and festive.  I absolutely love it but it really draws attention to how everything we perceive is relative to the experiences we have had but not based on actual reality.  Or is reality just relative?  

Anyway, at first I found the following postcards to be very odd until I really thought about  how Christmas doesn't have snow everywhere, so why not show pictures of flowers and meadows?  I have been comfortable with desert scenes for the Wise Men, why not lilacs and a cottage?  So here are my Christmas oddities:
