'Tis The Season

To start shopping that is. Not counting today, there are 44 shopping days left until Christmas. It will be here before we know it. So, I figured the best way to start this off is to prevent 2 major questions. "Leslie, what do you want for Christmas?" "Leslie, what should I get Justin for Christmas?" In order to combat this - please review these options. (file download in PDF format)

For those of you I am buying for - please let me know what you would like. And - let us know forget the reason for the season. This is a time to start reflecting on what it is we have in our lives. We are all very fortunate people, no matter who our President is, what the inflation rate might be, or how many foreigners might be pissed at America. We are lucky to live in a nation where we are provided with as many options and rights as we are. This whole thing can go even deeper into faith. We are all blessed to have been provided with the right to choose our own faith, but it is undeniable that the coming season is grounded in the birth of Christ. For it is through his life, death, and resurrection that we may all enjoy eternal life.

May everyone enjoy a blessed Holliday season. Whatever you do - don't get caught up in all the hub-ub, but please take a minute to enjoy the changing of the leaves (unless they have already changed), watch kids meet Santa for the first time at the mall, and smile. :)
