The countdown is on...

With each passing day, the to-do lists become a little more intense as we prepare to worship and celebrate, remembering the birth of Christ. Belinda Jensen on Kare 11 said that there is more than one inch of snow on the ground at Christmas only 74 percent of the time. Well, in my memory, there is snow at Christmas 100 percent of the time, and it seems surreal to do all this Christmas planning without any of the white stuff! For this reason alone, I don't think I would do well during December if I ever moved to someplace warm.

My dining room is a flurry of activity these days - I always try to make my gifts for my family at Christmas. It takes a lot of time, but I enjoy giving them something that I've made, having thought about them while I've worked on it. That way there's lots of love in it. That, and in my dream world, I would work part time in a knitting store as an instructor. I love all of the colors and textures of different yarns and fabrics.

Well, back to working on the bulletins for Sunday...
Merry Christmas (almost!) and Happy New Year!
