I have been so busy at work these past couple of weeks. I can't believe how many last minute shoppers there are out there. I am the type I like to get things done early and get it over with. Are any of you last minute shoppers? This is the first holiday season I have worked in retail and it is just crazy. And these past couple days it seems like everyone has been in terrible moods. If they only knew what Christmas was really about, maybe they wouldn't be in such a bad mood. But anyways I am very thankful that I have a job. The people I work with are all pretty nice. And I get along with them all for the most part. I am excited about Christmas this year. Our boys are getting older and I would really like to start a tradition of reading the Christmas story with them on Christmas. So I am going to try and start that this year. With all the different family Christmas that each of us have, we decided that we are going to cook Chinese for our Christmas dinner with my husbands family. Last year we done it for Thanksgiving, so this year we decided we would do it for Christmas. Sis. Frankie has some really good recipes that we use. Plus that will give the kids (and big kids- Bro. Jimmy and Bro. Johnny) time to play with the toys before church.
I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It seem like just yesterday it was January. But I have lots of good memories from this year. The Lord has given me many things to be thankful for this year. He has protected me and my family many of times. I pray that I can only be that much more of a servant for him this next year. I love you all, and I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

I did a little last minute shopping, but not much. I got half of it done in October, then waited until Dec to finish up.
I think that will be a great tradition for you and your family. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!
uMy husband is the last minute shopper in our house. He usually read the Christmas story on Christmas eve but he has actually spent the last 2 or 3 nights reading it. He finished last night.
Oh Sis. Leah...We are definitly last minute shoppers...for example mom and dad are finishing our shopping today. And I always heard the Christmas story at christmas...at home and at mammaw's. And I understand about working retail...sigh.
I just finished my shopping last night but that is not my fault (it's Johnny's haha). I am really excited about Christmas this year and I am looking forward to tomorrow.
I thought I has my christmas shoping done.Then today one of the boys gifts did't come it is on back order.Oh well
Have a Merry Christmas
Yes you must read the story we done it for our kids
I was so thankful that The Dad and I went shopping in the middle of December... since it decided to snow and ice over here after that! Any thoughts of shopping came to a stop when that snow came down! But, there are always those last minute things you NEED to buy. So, I guess I'm a last minute shopper too! I'm still waiting for three gifts to come in the mail!
I worked at wal mart and know how you feel. I try to shop all year so I am done before Christmas. This year it did not work that way. Thanks to my daughter and her friend they were a great help to me at the last min. Love you sis
