Success

For the first time ever I think I've put everything Christmas away at once. I always seem to miss something--the movies, the music, the stockings--but not this year! And it's all in one (very heavy) box!

Michael Buble and Shania Twain

It's growing on me.

Merry Christmas!

"This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again."
- President Howard W. Hunter, "The Gifts of Christmas," First Presidency Christmas Devotional, 4 Dec. 1994.

75 Christmas Cards

You won't believe how fast we blew through them. We might just need 100 next time. It's a pretty good life to have so many people to love!

Two Years in a Row

I can't believe I made this mistake once again: not buying enough Brach's candy corn at Halloween to decorate my Thanksgiving table with. Stores get rid of it all before Thanksgiving, and it's not worth it to buy other types of candy corn!

Once Upon a Time . . .

I ate most of a bag of Cadbury eggs for dinner. Happy Easter. The End.

I'm So Fine with Culture Holidays

St. Patrick's Day - Ireland
Cinco De Mayo - Mexico
Mardi Gras - France
Kwanzaa - Africa
Fourth of July - America
Chinese New Year - China

But why in the world don't we have an English holiday? I mean, really. I guess you could count Guy Fawkes, huh? Or Boxing Day? But then what about the Scots? Or Spain? Japan? I don't think this is equal national rights.
