Yes, Happy Holidays to the Manolo and to all those who make this site what it is. Here’s a cute little Christmas card: http://www.reuters.hu/card_dom/index_content.html

I did not get super-fantastic shoes this Christmas, but I did buy some for my sweet grandmother who needed shoes for going out. She is beyond the age of heels, but thanks to Manolo’s advice on shoes, I was able to find a tasteful pair of black flats with a little bling in them. My grandmother loved them.

While I didn’t get shoes for Christmas myself, I did get a gift to keep my shoes looking super fantastic. Cedar shoe trees! I couldn’t be happier.

I received the Shoe Calendar from the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto…a fabulous pair of shoes to look at for every day of the year. Or as my friend Mark called it, “shoe porn.” It’s a delight. Ho, ho and mo’ ho from the Gulf Coast.

A blessed Christmas and the choicest blessings for 2006 to Manolo, the little elves and fairies, and all the frequenters of this site. May the laughter and joy that you have shared return to you in double measure.

Merry Christmas to the Manolo!

Manolo recommended the cookbook “The Silver Spoon,” which I asked for and received. I made two dishes from it last night–tasty!

I gave my mom a pair of red loafers, more supportive and comfortable than superfantastic, but she is old and arthritic. She can now save her tennis shoes for the playing of tennis.
