Merry Christmas!
The festivities of Christmas brings out the best spirit in everyone. Especially on Christmas Eve, people seem to be on their best behaviour. After all, this is the time of year when you go to the special Church service in the evening and see just how many “official” members of your congregation there are. Entertainingly, this number usually rises ten-fold from the rest of the year…
While everybody was sleeping, Santa stopped by in his sleigh,
right in time for Christmas, on this very special day!
I thought it’d be nice to write a little Christmas rhyme,
it just seemed like the perfect time!
Fittingly, Christmas morning is vastly different than Christmas Eve. Today is defined by the chaos of greeting family members, wrangling the screaming little ones and witnessing wrapping paper fly in every direction. Nonetheless, it’s a wonderful celebration.

Merry Christmas!!!
P.S. Thanks to Santa for “The Jelly of the Month Club” membership!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today, we will all gather around the dinner table of that brave soul who willingly volunteered to host Thanksgiving with our family and friends to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. Feasts will overwhelm kitchens with each family’s special touch. This may pertain to cranberry sauce that is prepared beyond just shimmying it out of the can, potatoes with or without lumps or that special dessert from a family recipe with that quintessential whipped cream dollop.
Regardless of the shouting, screaming and crying (and don’t forget about the children), the varying successes and failures throughout today will perfectly define Thanksgiving for us all. But, when all the food is eaten, the dishes cleared (not yet cleaned, but cleared) and people’s adrenaline levels have subsided, then that special bonding moment can begin with either a visit to the movie theater or an in-home entertainment presentation.
From my family to yours, here’s a little insight (or appetizer if you will) to what really brings joy to our world (drum beat please!).
Don’t forget about those in-laws…
Happy Thanksgiving!
P.S. We all know the scene below is when we learned what it is in turkey that makes us drowsy:
