just some randomness this morning.....
Snow is so pretty, you can play with it, build
with it, throw it at people, some even eat it..
even though they say you shouldn't.
Snow can also be the devil in disguise of slippery
roads, car accidents, blizzards, down power lines,
and the list goes on. It's very temperamental and
you gotta know just how to finesse it... and even
when we try, it still sometimes gets the better of
us.
Since I'm on the whole snow kick here.. (probably
because we are getting a little more this morning)
Many just don't know how to drive in it. There are
times for caution, and times to just give it a little
gas, and do us all a favor and get out of our way.
Then again, there are some that give it way too much
gas, and end up turned upside down, just up the
road from you. It can be scary.
Christmas lights are beautiful, just one strand of lights
can make a home beautiful in the darkness of night.
Same goes for the guy out on the "big road" that lights
up his boat. I mean that thing is u*g*l*y, but at night
with lights.. its beautiful... ha!
Santa riding a motorcycle hung up on a garage, makes
me smile each time I see it, and frown when it isn't
turned on.
Christmas songs just make me happy, but I find myself
listening in the car, becoming entranced, and then finally
saying.. ok.. enough with the Christmas songs already.. lol..
When is enough..... enough? I have a hard time stopping
at enough when it comes to buying people Christmas
presents, especially for my immediate family.
Note to self. Hide all Christmas cookies. EVERY
time I make cookies, I leave the kitchen, and I come
back to ONLY a few carefully placed cookies on the plate.
Do they think I won't notice? It can take hours to
create, bake, and decorate, and all of 30 seconds
to eat.
Do people still use bows on packages? I see so many
gift bags, tissue and wrapping paper, tape, but few bows.
Did I miss the memo?
A simple wreath can make an over 100 year old cabin
look so festive.
This time of year can bring out the happy, and bring
on the stress. I like the happy best.
My question is Where are the red kettles? I've seen ONE,
outside of Walmart last night. That's it!
I manage to get around to quite a number of stores,
but no buckets. That has to be hurting the Salvation Army.
We always choose ornaments from the giving tree each year.
Our church provides MANY needy families with food, and
presents during the Christmas season. I noticed that almost
all the ornaments were for gift cards. Wonder why? Are
5 year olds excited to get gift cards?
Projects, I have so many. I find myself feeling overwhelmed
and accomplishing nothing. Why is that?
Christmas party stress. What to wear, what to bring
what to say to strangers.......
And finally... cause I've got a lot of projects to do... lol...
I want to leave you with this link to one of my favorite
SUPER SILLY Christmas songs. Please tell me I'm
not the only one that has family....... nevermind...
just watch.
