What's your favorite holiday memory?
and now am in the holiday spirit!
I had breakfast with MisterJT and mentioned that my volunteering to gift wrap for the animal shelter really did fill me with holiday cheer. Mellemusic helped out and we were pretty slammed from the moment we sat down. We made $120+ dollars during out shift and everyone was just great. The shift was for 4 hours and I swear, I have never wrapped that many presents in one sitting. We joked around with everyone and people were just in fantastic moods.
Also, I met some more awesome people who volunteer at the shelter and they had the best stories ever. I love that place! One of the volunteers, Scott, is actually part of the Happy Tails program, where they give the dogs obedience training to prepare them for life with a family. He was so interesting and I swear, he and his wife have had about 20 million different jobs - one included making ice cream, another graphic design, another dog trainer..so you really can do anything you want :)
Now, I'm back at BPL and I am happy to say that I was able to make some little gifts for all the kids in my life. There are 15 of them total. 1 high schooler, 3 itty bitty ones and 11 elementary school and toddler age. I made little grab stockings of the 11 and then since 1 is in high school, I'll get her something different and the 3 little ones need something different too. I really didn't think I could afford presents with all the car trouble I experienced but you know, for little kids, I thought it was important to get them some thing even if it isn't a giant toy.
I finally picked up some holiday cards as well. But you know, I never send those out in a timely fashion anyway so as long as it arrives before new years it's ok, right?
Hope everyone is having a great holiday season and if you are traveling - safe travels! Happy holidays to you and yours!!!
