Well, this is my first post on my new blog, so I feel like there should be some momentous post with profound insights and deep meaning. But since that isn't going to happen, I'll just post some odds and ends on what's happening around here lately.

Christmas is right around the corner and I finally feel like things have slowed down enough to begin to enjoy the season. Our church Christmas play was last Sunday, and it was a relief to be done, although it is something that Sandy and I really enjoy and look forward to each year. The school Christmas program was this past Wednesday. Clayton's class sang "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" and guess who Grandma was? Clayton made a pretty good Grandma!

I'm looking forward to the next couple of days. I'll be off work on Christmas Eve thanks to the bank allowing employees to work split crews the day before and after Christmas, giving everyone an extra day off! We're going to make cookies tonight and tomorrow, and hopefully get some presents wrapped! Merry Christmas to all. May your holidays be filled with good times with the people you love.
Say a prayer for all those soldiers who are spending the holidays away from home.
