We have high winds and rain but it still feels like christmas weather :smilecc: Was calculating what i can save this summer for my christmas fund but its going to be hard as the crisis is really hitting us in Greece . Also the lovely English shop where i get all my christmas goodies may close ,again due to the crisis . But i know whatever, :smilecc: my christmas spirit will carry me through as the true meaning of christmas is not in fancy food or lots of gifts but in our lord Jesus . :snowwow: So glad i have you guys to share my christmas thoughts, even in April. Love it :smilecc:
..

Agreed tinseltown! Our last 2 Christmases have been meager, but the joy is our Lord not the 'things'. Believing you'll have a wondrous Christmas this year! :smilecc:

Christmas Crazy wrote:Hello Christmas friends. Sorry I've been away for a while. Life sometimes gets a little crazy here.
Extra hours at work (but no extra pay), getting my second child ready for college with tests and scholarship auditions, we had family come to visit right after Easter, and now I'm coaching my wife's softball team.

I hope your job opportunity pans out Jennifer.Image

I sure am loving these warmer temps. I got my pool pump running, now just need to uncover it. 8-)


You've been missed Christmas Crazy, but we figured you were busy. It's great you have to post a little now.! :smilecc:

I was trying to show Perky how they do not work and what I thought was the problem, when poof it was there.........hubby´s Christmas magic has returned. Now that I have a "tomtemor" up, I will not try to change it again.

Thinking of all of you today as I reviewed items for the Christmas boxes this season. How each of us are saving to touch other's lives despite having our own family needs. Now that's the Spirit of Christmas! Wishing each of you much joy tonight! :D :D

I decided to drive by closer and found a sign welcoming home one of our brave Afghanistan soldiers! Merry Christmas I sang! :scene:



I love this!! So glad their soldier could come home to Christmas! :smilecc:

It's Springtime in Arkansas..the grass is growing, the flowers are blooming, the trees are budding..and tornado season is here. We had a storm last night. It produced a tornado really close to us and it did a lot of damage. Storms are the only thing I dislike about Spring.

Dd already know what she wants for Christmas. An ipad. She actually wanted one last year but I knew she was way too little to take good care of it. I will be buying her an ipod touch for her birthday in a few months. And I'm saving up for her ipad for Christmas. :shop:

On a side note to my last post, if there is one good thing about this economy it's that people know they have to put the credit cards away and save up for the things they really want. Saving money for things really makes you appreciate them more. Christmas has so much more meaning when you have bought little things all year, and scrimped and saved for the big ones. :scene:

Yes, and when you're not stressed because the credit card is maxed out for another year. When that happens people lose sight of the deeper meaning of Christmas and miss all the joy! :D
