The Twelve Days of Christmas

The Christmas season is among us. The time of joy and cheer. The season of happiness and fun. The time to spend time together just because you can. To sit and enjoy hot cocoa and classic holiday movies by a nice warm fire. When you curl up on a cold night with a book and enjoy the feeling of the season. When we put up our tree it was just the beginning of the wonderful feeling in our home. And when I walked in the next night and the tree was decorated and the stocking hung I knew it really was christmas time. All the show are playing there christmas episodes and the magic is welling within them all. But don't forget why we truly celebrate and the blessing that the Savior is to all of us. Don't let yourself feel alone because you aren't. Remember through all the hustle and bustle what Christ mas is all about. Happy Christmas Everyone!

Ring that Bell

For three years I worked at a grocery store and each year at christmas each time the door opened I'd hear the faint clang clang of the salvation army bell ringer. I grew to hate that bell. I would go in back doors or walk out of my way just to stay away from that bell.

However this year after moving on to a new job and getting away from the bell my oh so sweet friend decided she wanted to sign us up to ring the bell outside of the same grocery store chain I use to work for. I was not excited but I couldn't let her down so I sucked it up and joined her for the two hour shift. Those who know me know that I like to have fun and I try to make any situation fun and exciting so I went in with a good attitude and came out more engrized then when I went in. We danced and sang and received so many donations. We brought the christmas spirit to so many people.

'Tis the Season

I have been running around the past couple weeks in order to get a nativity performance together and finally it was time for the production to happen. With everyone scrambling to get ready and making sure we had everything we went on. And it was amazing. The choir sounded beautiful and the 'actors' played their parts just wonderfully! Afterward to celebrate a job well done I went to a party and danced the night away! Success is beautiful!
