Countdown to Christmas

Day #9



Here's a little video and a shout out to the city of my birth, Rupert Idaho. It has the distinction of holding the copy right name of "Christmas City USA." It's a great effort and a fabulous tradition for a little town of less than 6,000 people to decorate and make the town shine. Merry Christmas (not season's greetings or happy holidays) from Rupert!

This video is a very sweet follow up to the video that I mentioned on Day # 4.

Day #7

Decorating...I started working on putting up the Christmas decorations on Day #3 and I'm almost done! I'm not putting up as many things this year since we'll be in AZ for Christmas. I had a little helper who was the sweetest thing. She and Claire got to stay with us for two weeks and we loved having her around. I have a bunch of valuable and fragile creches, but I also have some that can be handled and played with. Little Skippy loved playing with the Fisher Price creche and hauling around all the figures. She can pick out the Baby Jesus from any creche and she is learning who all the other figures are. She liked the camel and the Baby Jesus the best.

Day #6

We went to see ANNIE last night at Pioneer Theater Company. We have season tickets again this year and we have been enjoying their lineup. They added some fun Christmas activities to the play this year and it was darling. It's not a bad message either at this time of year.

The sun till come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow there'll be sun
Jus' thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'til there's none
When i'm stuck with the day that's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin and grin and say ohhh
The sun will come out tomorrow
So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may...

Chorus:

Tomorrow tomorrow

I love ya tomorrow

You're always a day away

Countdown to Christmas

Day #5

I'm working on the Christmas cards today. I've already received several from Claire (1st place), Nick and Tina, Taylors and Rosenbergs. Wow, I'm impressed! I absolutely love receiving and sending cards. I look forward to driving home each day and opening up the mailbox to see who sent us a card. I love to stay in touch with family and friends this way. It such a simple way to let people know that we care about them and that they are remembered and to wish them a Merry Christmas!
