Well another day closer to Christmas

Yes, it is getting close to Christmas again. This year there is magic in my home. You see I have children in this house. Nothing like watching those eyes light up when they see what Santa has given them. Or having young ladies (Grand Daughters) to help with the Christmas baking. Or young men (Grand Sons) that eat that baking almost before it is out of the oven. Right now in Vegas it is cold, about 48 degrees and very windy about 35 mph and the house is warm, the Christmas videos have begun, tonight is Santa Clause and the Three Bears. This is where my Grand daughter Nacomi got her name. Tomorrow the Ranklin and Bass series. Every thing is good and and we are so blessed to have one another.

Above is a cut out. It has 24 pieces that can be used for the Christmas count down. On the 24th is when the baby Jesus is placed. This is what I am using for the kids this year. Santa is cool and the videos and the Tree and everything else Christmas, but they must remember that Christmas is spelled CHRISTmas.

I will get off my soap box now. Only 50 more days until the new American Idol starts. My class rooms are so excited to be using this as a teaching aid. I explained how I did it in CA and they are really looking forward to getting their 2 cent worth in.

I only have 3 more things to get and my Christmas shopping with be done. YEAH! Black Friday was a big PITA. So many people and so little room.

Christmas, the best time of year. Nothing brings people together like Christmas does. Seems to me you and I celebrate pretty much the same way. I too love those Christmas movies, specially the tear jerkers, and watching the cartoons with the grandkids is priceless.

I'm trying to stay alive over at 25peeps.com if you have a chance and I'm still there go and click my thumbnail, you know who I am... but just in case I'm the cool guy in the bike with Diego taking a very slow ride. :)
