The Spirit of Christmas

Ok, so I actually found time to blog today. I am in a classroom and I have an hour break. For some reason Christmas just feels different this year. For once in my lifetime, I can't think of anything to really ask for. I don't really need anything....except some new boots, Tory Burch flats, a vaccum cleaner....just kidding! I really just feel the need to give to people that I really appreciate this year. And to be a blessing to someone else.

At my church we are doing an Angel Tree that gives gifts to children of parents that are incarcerated. This was such a blessing for me to just be a part of because I grew up with my father in prison and there was never a program like this. If it was, my retarded Daddy just never got on the list....Sorry I got a little off track. Anyway I felt great joy to go and pick up some of the items that my two Angels, Desiree and Tayvia had on their lists. I really want to do something else for someone less fortunate so I guess I will look more into that before the holiday season is over.

Maybe I'm just growing up but I really think Christmas is about being with family and being a blessing to someone else!!!!! I am leaving on Sunday to go and be with my family in Marshall so if anyone wants to give me my boots or vaccum cleaner before I leave, please feel free to call me. Lol!

I would love to give you boots AND the vaccuum - if you could just wait until next Christmas for those - I might be able to handle it a little better next year! :) But I do give you my love on Christmas! I miss you terribly! Can you come over for lunch this week? Tomorrow maybe??
