2004-12-24 Merry Merry All written in a book And every year at Christmastime I go and take a look And that is when I realize That those names are a part Not of the book they're written in But of my very heart For each name stands for someone Who has crossed my path some time And in that meeting they've become A treasured friend of mine And once you've met some people The years can not erase The memory of a pleasant word Or a friendly face So when I send a Christmas card That is addressed to you It's because you're on that list Of folk I'm indebted to And you are one of many folk who In times past I've met And happen to be one of those I don't want to forget And whether I have known you for Many years or few In some way you have a part in Shaping things I do This, the spirit of Christmas, that Forever and ever endures May it leave it richest blessing In the hearts of you and yours. ~Anonymous~ This is the poem that I sent out with this year's cards...I thought I would share it here as well. I hope that everyone has a great Holiday Season filled with the love, special times, and magic that only this time of year can bring! 0 comments so far 2004-12-24 Shopping A brief summary of the nights' events...in list form.1. Heather's tire is basically flat in Sharon's driveway...Ryun offers to change it...Heather says no, she'll put air in it, it will be fine, Dad's getting her a new tire tomorrow. 2. Sharon volunteers to drive...Heath says no, it will be fine. 3. Arrive at mall...wait for 2 hours for sister Suzanne(gee the traffic it's terrific) to show up...have a drink and an appetizer at Joe's. 4. Suz arrrives, eats, leave Joe's to shop. 5. Can't find what we need, decide to go down an exit to Kmart. 6. Yup..Heather's tire is completely flat. Momentarily freak, then remember that the is a Sears Auto in the mall. 7. Drive all over creation, find it, get two tires replaced(one had very bad tread). 8. Heather has no cash, Shazzy shells out the dough. 9. Try to close door of car...won't shut. We cry...well are about to anyway. Nice guy from Sears fixes it. 10. Roll window up...window roller thingy breaks off. We laugh. 11. Go to Kmart, finish shopping (11:00pm) leave. Decide to get a coffee on the way home...go to three Dunkin Donuts before we succeed(One was closed, one didn't have iced coffee(how weird is that) 3rd time's the charm as the saying goes). 12. Go to Marie and Pete's (aka Mom and Dad's) to pick up gift that Papa(aka Pete, Dad) assembled for girls. 13. Find him assembling another toy for them, so tired he can barely talk. Nice daughters help Dad, Dad loves nice daughters. 15. Vow never, ever to go anywhere near a mall on December 23 again, go to sleep. The End. 1 comments so far2004-12-23 It's a Wrap(and a Cut) So, I wrapped all but 6 presents last night, and the remaining six are going to get "gift-bagged" after my planned shopping trip tonight. I may have(or will tonight if I haven't already) lost my mind when I decided to go shopping with my sister at a mall on December 23. We don't get to see each other as often as we like since she and my brother-in-law decided to move toSo yeah, I crammed myself and the 50 million things I had left to wrap in the playroom, shut the door, turned on the Christmas music and wrapped for 4 hours. I told Ryun that if we were rich, I might have hired someone else to wrap them for me(along with a personal masseuse which really has nothing to do with wrapping but whatever). I cut my finger on the scissors while curling ribbon. It was pretty bad and actually required a band aid to stop the bleeding. Given how I feel about wrapping, I did find it rather humorous though that it was my middle finger that I cut. Anyway, if you don't hear from me tomorrow, be sure to send out a search party. You'll find me somewhere in the maze of people known as " last minute shoppers." 0 comments so far2004-12-22 It's a Wrap Sharon's Plans From Now Until Christmas1. Wrap presents. 2. Wrap presents 3.

I do not believe that it is the circumstance that produces such greatness any more than it is the canvas that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies that stars are best seen."
