I love this time of year. The kids are excited about Christmas, the stores are full of holiday cheer and people are generally nicer to each other. Wouldn't it be nice if this was how people acted all year long? It amazes me how attitudes change after the New Year. How people feel someone is "out to get them". Or the "it's all about me" mentality. How great would it be if we remembered to donate in May as well as December? To open a door for someone, to take a second before being aggravated about something, to say please and thank you, to give a friendly smile for no apparant reason and most of all to just be there for someone. Of course I'm not saying I'm not guilty of all these things, I'm sure we all are, but wouldn't it be nice?
Okay I'll get off my soap box now. I was just thinking of these things today and thought I would jot them down.
Before I sign off today how about a funny from C-bug.
After her bath one night she asked me if she could have a honey bun. I said sure. A bit later her brother went to get a snack before bed and she comes back with one too. I told her she had already had a snack. She said no I didn't and I said, yes the honey bun. She says "That wasn't snack, I was just hungry". For anyone that knows Big Girlie you know that is funny!
8 days until CHRISTMAS!
