Time to Change my Background...

I'm getting into the Christmas spirit, even though we just finished Halloween. I'm trying to keep up with the stores. I'm actually trying to decide what our Christmas card will look like this year. That means what to wear for our picture, take the picture and most importantly, this year, where to take the picture. Last year was our first photo Christmas card, and we just sat on the couch (real creative). I'm thinking something like the top of Angel's Landing, out on the airport runway, or maybe in front of WalMart. If anyone has any suggestions, just give me a call, or let me know through this blog. You will all be happy to know that my Christmas shopping is well under way. I want to really enjoy the season more this year, so doing things a bit earlier sounds good to me. Commercialism has really gotten a strangle hold on the world, and I hope I can keep in mind the true meaning of Christmas, and whose birth we are celebrating. One of my favorite stories this time of the year is The Three Trees. We usually have our own "three trees" in our front yard, but Bill had the middle one cut down, because it was being deprived of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (see earlier blog). It was humanely cut down, and now we only have two trees. Back to my favorite story...if you get a chance and haven't read it, do that this season.
