Well Christmas is passed.  Bittersweet this year because it was sooo hectic trying to get everything done, decorating, gift making, shopping, wrapping.   I was finishing a gift for my sister Christmas morning and wrapping Chris' gifts while he was sleeping Christmas morning.  Next year will be different (I vaguely remember saying something like that last year - but I could be wrong).  I bought some pretty decorations this year thrifting that was fun - packing them away - not so much.  Chris and I picked out a beautiful tree this year and it was the first one we stamped open!  Have to invest in a new stand next year this one had a leak so we couldn't water the tree so it didn't last as long as I would have liked.  But it was still beautiful!  Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and remembered the reason for the season.

The coolest thing happened to me Wednesday when I was getting my gas.  I was waiting behind a woman who was paying cash, the lane next to me opened up but I just stayed where I was since I was reading on my phone.  When she was finished she came to my window and said that someone bought her groceries for her that morning so since I was so patient she was paying if forward and gave me $20.  So I'll be paying it forward too.  Wouldn't it be nice if we all made an effort to do something nice for a total stranger.  That's the real spirit of Christmas.  So Merry CHRISTmas everyone and Pay It Forward!
