                    sewing                                                                        learning a new language                                         
reading a good book                                                       or magazine




                        knitting                                                                                           or decorating the tree


after all... you've posted your Christmas cards                                                       and baked your cake

    How fabulous is this montage! I love the photos of the ladies under the dryers. I was talking to a hair dresser celebrating 50 years in the business the other day, and he reminded me that ladies used to have their hair done in cubicles with a curtain around it, to maintain their privacy....how times have changed!!
