Friday Coffee Talk

(singing) Wu ha Wu ha....Friday is here!    Wu ha Wu ha....Friday is here!     The weekend is only hours away!  I know you are excited. Do you have big plans? Gotta get that shopping done!   Good morning!  LOL  Are ya awake yet?  

Our challenge today is to not get so caught up in the shopping and the commercialism of Christmas that it passes you by.  I remember when Christmas was about love, family, spending time with loved ones, and family traditions.  Now, it is rush rush rush and no time to enjoy the REAL Christmas.  Of course, we know Christmas is about our Savior's birth, but too, it is about family and love.  Why have we allowed Christmas to dwindle to nothing but shopping sprees?  Nothing but a rush?  It was JUST Thanksgiving and now with all the shopping and rushing, Christmas is here.  I want to slow down and enjoy these next few days leading up to Christmas.  Will you join me?  Enjoy what is left leading up to Christmas?  Slow down?  Lets just do it!

So, who's up?  What cha sippin' on?  I'm enjoying some awesome Gevalia Ventor Spice coffee and it sure is good.  I was surprised to come home and find this package on my front porch.  I have no idea where it came from.  Just a package with 4 packs of coffee.  THANK YOU SOMEONE!  HEHEHE

Y'all have a wonderful Friday and slow down!

Randy,

Good post.......This year were just going to spend time with one another.....Finances are nill so instead of gifts were going to do things as a family.....Marty has flooded an area in the back yard, which has taken weeks to do.....So were all going to ice skate together.......Have snoball fights and make snow angels & a snowman......We plan on doing a little hiking or try snow shoeing........It isn't about the gifts......It's about celebrating Jesus and being together as a family......And to be honest, I'm really looking forward to how were going to be together and enjoy one another instead of gifts......We've also tossed around the idea of volunteering at a shelter or something to help feed the homeless, we'll see.......

I hope you & Lucy & the kids have a wonderful Christmas.........God bless you......

Good afternoon Randall......

Wonderful challenge today. I could have went somewhere for a vacation but chose to come to my daughters homes for the holidays instead. I love being with my family over anywhere else!! I am in Iowa now and will be heading to my other daughters in South St. Paul on Wednesday. I love the holiday season!!

Love and hugs....connie d
