Rushing Headlong into Christmas

I'm just rushing headlong right into Christmas, and there has not been much "slowing down" or "catching up".     However, despite the whirlwind busy-ness, there have been times of fun and experiences of the joy of the season.

My community small group had our Christmas party, and since this is such a fun great group of people, we always have a good time together.   We had dinner and our normal White Elephant; but, we also heard a nice Christmas story and played Pictionary using Christmas Carol and Song titles.

My class will be doing our monthly outreach at COA, and initial plans for the Christmas Goodies package we'll be passing out to them with dinner are underway.

Yesterday, I was able to help fill-in for one of the AV Team members who got sick.

I even had time to watch a few Christmas movies:  A Princess for Christmas, The Christmas Clause, A Christmas Kiss, 12 Wishes of Christmas, The Family Holiday, Eve's Christmas,and Desperately Seeking Santa.  They were all nice Christmas shows; but, my favorites were A Christmas Kiss and A Princess for Christmas.   Both were really sweetly romantic; and ultimately placed value on solid qualities and character.

And I heard a pretty funny joke:   What do you call a person who has a fear of Santa?    A Clause-trophobic :-)

Also the Figure Skating Grand Prix season concluded with the Finals.   Davis and White displayed their championship consistency once again and won the gold in Ice Dance.

I still need to do cards and wrap gifts.   Hopefully, I'll be able to get to that this week.   And, I'm glad that my brothers will be hosting the Christmas dinner this year.   I hope that it will be a time of blessing.
