CHRISTMAS GIVING

I'm feeling a lot of tension today. Not necessarily bad tension though. It's that tingle you get in your gut when you just know something big's about to happen. I think it's going to be something good! Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Today I will channel my creative talents away from the written word and on to creating Christmas gifts. Our family is making all it's Christmas gifts this year. No packages piling out into the middle of the livingroom floor and so many things to open that we almost get sick of tearing off wrapping paper. This year we are going back to what Christmas was originally meant to be...a time to show appreciation and love for all the special people in our lives. Nothing says this more than giving of your "time". Time is what it takes to decide on a gift to make and time is what it takes to actually produce that gift.

We'll still do the traditional coffee, tea and Dunkin Donuts on Christmas morning, but this year it's going to be more a celebration of "family" togetherness than a gift gorging extravaganza.

Well, I'm off to shop for supplies. Hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll talk to you again on Monday!
