Week #48 (Part 1): Gearing up for Christmas



Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
- Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

Our Christmas Party (take deux).   We had to reschedule our Christmas Party do to the massive snow storm last week.  It was so great that so many people were able to stop by despite the crazy busy holiday season.  We had a wonderful time kicking off celebrating the Christmas season.  We had so much fun seeing all the little ones hanging out and running around together.  Hazel didn't want anything to do with Santa. Santa got a high five but that was it for this year.
