The Day After Thanks

So I didn't make it to the stores at the wee hours in the morning and it has somewhat become a tradition for us however I had no regrets about passing up the crowd this morning. Well for starters I was a bit tired, more than usual, and got the word that customers were lined up outside at the stores at 9:00pm yesterday. So I opted out of my usual routine. I used most of the day to get some work done. Remember we're still pressing toward end of the year goals. Boy did it pay off. I got some things completed and headed to the stores 10 hours after all the excitement. I was shocked to find no long lines or huge crowds. What!! I couldn't believe it. We got our Christmas decorations and took our time strolling around to come upon some unique finds. So you know that I am a happy camper to say the least.

The moral of this story, I may have missed the Thanksgiving rush but with confidence that there would still be something left over for me; I still discovered some golden surprises.

Season Greetings everyone. We are in full swing of the Holiday Season!!!

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

After Christmas Practical Suggestion

I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them.  Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a  di...

Thoughts for today

Whatever you endeavor to do, let it be yours. Never let anyone try and project their thoughts as yours, their feelings, or their motives. No, let every man reason for himself seeking God to find their perspective. We should never try to attach our needs to someone else except we commune together. And never ask a man, especially a woman to carry the burden for anothers errors lest they be in agreement. This is why I find the precision of these words to be exact. Actions not words are the true criterion for the attachment of friends~George Washington
