THE BIG WRAP-UP
Now that the shopping is done it is time to wrap your treasures so they can appear under the Christmas tree on that special morning. Lets keep in mind that it is not only the day Santa brings gifts but the most important thing is that Christ was born on this day.
If you are one of those people who wrap their gifts the same day or next, you should be finished, if you are finished shopping. Some people, like me, leave the wrapping until the last minute. Fortunately for me I am giving mostly gift cards so I just have to put them into a card although I do have a few gifts to warp. God help those who are still shopping for that perfect gift.
As I mentioned yesterday, DeLaney, my granddaughter, bought a gift for her mother and this morning we wrapped it. Thank goodness I have a large selection of wrapping paper for her to choose from. It took her some time to make her decision. After careful measuring and cutting the paper three times the perfect measurement was achieved. When it was time to tape, each piece of tape had to be the same size. With this done it was time to pick out a name tag from the couple of hundred I acquired over the years. With this done and the name tag affixed to the gift a big smile appeared on DeLaney's face and the words "PERFECT" rolled over her lips and we were done.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

THE INNOCENCE OF A CHILD
With school out and me watching Delaney all day it is hard to find things to do to keep her occupied. She likes to go to Alsip Nursery and look around especially at the puppies. We usually get there about two times a week and then go to lunch.
Today was puppy day which meant a trip to Alsip. At Alsip there are thousands and thousands of floral arrangements, Christmas decorations, Christmas trees as well as fountains, Christmas lights and collectibles of every kind.
As we walked through this wonderland Delaney was reminded that she had not purchased a Christmas gift for her mother. This upset her a great deal. I told her I would go to Wal-Mart and get something and wrap for her. This was not acceptable. She had to pick it out and she wanted to find something here at Alsip, take it home and asked if I would help her wrap it.
We walked and looked for some time. As I watched her look for that special gift it brought a tear to my eye knowing that this little girl wanted to get that special, special gift for her mother. She finally settled for a glass jewelry box the had the inscription of "To my Mother and Best Friend"
There is still love in this world and in the hearts of little ones.

WHO LOVES CHRISTMAS?
When it comes to Christmas I think everyone should decorate, especially the stores who want you to spend your money on their merchandise to make your loved ones happy on Christmas morning.
As I walked into Wal-Mart I saw a small Christmas tree and that was the end of their decorations. Is this all they can afford or do they just not care. I also went to Wendy's in Schererville, Indiana for lunch and as I sat eating it dawned on me that the songs that were coming over the intercom were not Christmas songs and as I looked around I did not see one Christmas decoration. I will have to take note today as I go out again, to see which stores have decorated for for this holiday. One place I know for sure that recognizes the time of year is Arby's in Schererville, Indiana. They have a beautiful manger scene positioned behind the counter where everyone can see it. It is a wonderful way to remind everyone that this season is not just about Santa and toys but the birth of Christ which I think people have put in second place behind Santa.
Let's make a switch, Santa and Christ and make things right.

LETS HAVE A BAKE SALE - NOT!
Well folks, big brother is sticking their nose into places where it doesn't belong. They are now saying that schools will be limited to the number of bake sales and other fund raisers they can have per year. The reason is that THE ITEMS SOLD ARE BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN. I would love to see what these idiots have for snacks and how many do they have per day.
This would mean less Taffy Apples, Popcorn and whatever else is sold to raise money to help pay for things the government has cut back on.
Who comes up with these ideas? Maybe instead of sticking their nose in the school's business they should stick their heads up their ass and leave it there.
Things are getting more ridiculous every day.
