"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

O Christmas Tree....


Well, here it is 10 days into the Christmas month and I haven't posted anything!!!

So I thought I might's well start where I had left off-November.


In the last couple days of November we raised and decorated out tree.

We got out tree last year at Wal-Mart for $30. It's a 3-piece, pre-lit, 6.5' high tree. And the branches just "fall" into place! Ahh...my kind of Christmas tree!;)


We decorated with birds, snowflakes, and "nose gays". According to Mom, "nose gays" are little bunches of berries. I'm including a picture of our tree so y'all can see what it looks like!


Our present pile is increasing, but the funny thing is the presents Mom and Dad put under the tree have numbers where the tag says "To". In other words, they're not putting on the present who it's for!!! My hypothesis is that they have a list that says which numbers go to which people.


Oh well...I guess it's just another way to fool the kids...;)


On the last night my Uncle Brian was here (Nov. 27) we all went to an event called "Christmas on the Promenade". It's put on by the local university and was very nice. Music, hot chocolate...I will post photos when I get a chance.


Merry Christmas, everybody!;)
