Feeling Festive....

I have to say I absolutely love Christmas. Ok, I am not one of those fanatics you see in the paper who decorates their house year round or anything, but I love this season. It just so magical.

I am feeling very festive today which is a little unlike me! In the sense that it is still a little early! Here, Thanksgiving (which is in 6 days) signifies the start of it all. Most people seem to put up the tree after Thanksgiving - and we did last year too.

Last year we had a tiny little real tree which I loved because we never had real trees growing up. It was so cute, we just put lights on it, and the occasional candy cane!

I am already wanting to watch Christmas movies!

I have finished the shoe box for Operation Christmas Child. In it is a notebook, crayons, hat, gloves. socks, soap, toothbrush and paste, cuddly toy, a sparkly headband, a loofah, a pink pen, and gummy bears. I hope it makes a child very happy. I plan to do this every year.

Yesterday we had planned a little suprise birthday lunch for our co worker - we usually celebrate any of our birthdays at the end of the month. As I went to the cafeteria to that fridge I slipped on the VERY wet floor. Seriously my trouser leg was soaked when I got up. My knee came up in a big golf ball lump. Any injuries that happen at school they must cover the medical costs so they took me to urgent care to get it checked. It is not too bad and definitely much better today, the swelling is going down. Having sprained my ankle twice in the past, I am glad it wasn't worse for me.

Happy Friday!
