Christmas shopping!!!!!!

Wow, this has been the a busy two days.... lots of shopping... Christmas Cards and getting pictures taken for Christmas of Kaya.... I like to get as much done as I can early, so I have time to wrap and spend time on baking the last week before christmas...I usually have the house decorated by now, but I don't... just outside, but hopefully this week-end I can get done... I always think I'm not going to make it, but I always do....As we were going to the mall today Teresa and I were listening to a music station that plays only Christmas songs at this time of year. They were talking to two small children that they had heard about from the newspaper... Their Mom asked them what their wish was for Christmas. They said they wish they could make sure all the kids in their school would have enough to eat this Christmas and to have a warm house... they did not want anything for themselves just that wish... It touch my heart, because their Mom said they thought of all by themselves... when the radio station hear about their wish... they donated the money to their local food pantry so the kids could help the children in their school...it was so sweet... makes you think about a SIMPLE christmas and those in need...and to be thankful... we had a talk with Kaya and explained to her that she was lucky that he mom made sure she always had a full tummy, because some kids go to bed hungry... she got really quite... makes you think
