I‘ve got the dreaded “tickle” in my throat tonight, so I’m off to bed early (for me)
Darn 
and I was keeping up there for over two weeks…
Hopefully my Advent calendar will resume tomorrow.
Wishing you all a good weekend, and good health!

Take care Slim – Holiday Illness can be the unpredictable regulator of our (too) extensive “To Do Lists”. Cheers!
Best wishes that the tickle remains just that…..Mary
Do get well, plenty of fluids, vitamin C and Zinc may help. Or the best cure of all is printed on my favorite holiday cocktail napkins “all she wanted for Christmas was a nap”.
I’m thinking you play up the illness for awhile and gain the benefits of some peace and quiet for a couple of days until the serious side of the season kicks in, you’ve done your bit!!!
Irish blessings and sweet dreams to you Slim.
May your tickle be gone when you rise.
And if not….Vitamin B injections in the morning!
xxoo

Feel better quick SP. Throat tickles are not invited to Christmas !! oxxo
Stay cozy and be well, Slim.

I hope you feel better! Taking care of your health is more important than posting. Now is no time to get sick!
Oh no! I’m not a doctor, pretend to be a doctor, or want to be a doctor, but try Elderberry Extract from Whole Foods. Just a dropper-full on your tongue makes most tickles run away. Warning: it tastes pretty bad (think witches’ brew), but seems to work for adults and kids. Get plenty of rest, sip tea with honey/lemon, and don’t worry about a thing until you’re better.
feel better…i love your blog!
Hope you feel better soon. Maybe you’re allergic to that beautiful Christmas tree in your home. I use to get sick every Christmas. We went fake 6 years ago and I haven’t had a holiday snifle, tickle or sneeze since.
Quick! Big doses of Vit. C and Cold F/X to stave off those nasty symptoms. Your devoted readers need you healthy!
Me, too. That little “cup cozy” just made me feel better. THANKS! franki
Slim………..you were sick last year too if I remember right. Are you getting too excited for Santa and wearing yourself out? XO
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Glad to know you’re taking care of yourself. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Ruth
REST!
Oh no…I hate that! And with Christmas only 1 week away. Try Zicam….I find it works pretty well if you start it early enough. Snuggle up and stay warm and I hope it’s just a temporary “tickle”!
Take 5000 i.u.’s of D 3-feel better!
Feel better. Off to Canada on the train today. Have a wonderful Christmas with all your family. xoL
Peaceful rest to you, DearHeart. Be well.
So cute! Get well soon! (love that mug sweater!)
Hope you feel better soon!
i agree: get well, mrs. paley!!
Ahhhh, I hope this is a fleeting thing and that you will recover quickly! If not, it’s time for a hot toddy near the fireplace and a legitimate reason to put it all on “pause.” Who says we have to do all of this anyway? The miniature carolers reminded me of my very dear friend, Stephanie, who organized a caroling outing in her ‘hood for our very young families years ago. It was a blast! Hope you’re humming along to holiday tunes soon.

i love to carol, too! but i’ve not had the chance to in years and years. i’m unable to raise my voice above a certain octave (my children were THRILLED with that when they were kids!), and we’ve only had a handful of revelers come to “call” in recent holiday seasons. i remember scurrying to grab home-baked cookies while my husband stepped outside. bless his heart! he’s my partner in crime!! the singers — especially the little ones — loved the sweets i passed around, as i walked through their group. ((humming!!! although they didn’t notice…..)) happy holidays everyone, keep singin’!!
mrs. ruff, this is one of my favorite memories too! But the last time I caroled was when I was the child, and then the youngish parent of young carolers, enjoying the cookies.
I am not a good singer so I need a strong chorus around to drown me out – wishing I knew a group of friends who would carol – I would be sure to come by your home! Cheers!
Hope you get well soon, dear Slim!
an indication,nudge- you need to take it easy. Good girl that you are + will look forward to your next post. When you are all healthy & feeling grand. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
I hope you feel better soon.
Hope you’re feeling better Slim. Thanks for all of your Christmas Spirit, but please get rest so we can finish this baby!
I will say a prayer for you to feel better!
I love that cup warmer! Where did you find it? I hope you feel better Slimmy!

So sorry to hear this. Take care get rest and you will be more than 100% before Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas,
Pam Kelley
Slim,
I hope you kick this before it gets worse…EmergenC shortens a sour throat for me. Good luck.
Karen
Gargle with honey & vinegar. Hope you feel better soon.
Love the sweater on the mug!
Okay, superwoman–the ‘ole body is telling you edit that ‘to do ‘list, and after you do that-delegate what’s left. You do have kinda-almost a week before Christmas Eve to slay the dragon lurking in your throat. Be well, my friend. xox
REST and get better soon. Lots of remedies in the prior comments, hope one of them works. Take care.

When I have a sore throat, I heat some water and add Tang. Yes, the stuff the astronauts drank. It has vitamin c, tastes surprisingly good when heated and coats the throat. I’m from Minnesota and this is a favorite there, but Alaskans swear by this cure, as well. Don’t get sick, Slim. Your posts everyday are such a treat!
Fingers crossed the “tickle” does not come to anything. being ill at this time of year is NOT what you need. Take care xx
Feel better. My daughter caught the flu this week and is now missing performing in her very last nutcracker… oh well, it’s the ebb and flow that makes life interesting.
