Totally Random Stuff For Christmas

 

I’ve really been struggling for blog fodder lately, so decided to just start babbling and see what happens. I’ve been blogging for almost 20 years and I think I may need a little vacation…

 

When’s the last time you made paper chains for the Christmas tree? I remember doing these to decorate the classroom in elementary school. It’s a tad late now because I’ve got so many irons in the fire, but I really would like to do this next year. I’ve never wanted to string popcorn. I’d rather eat it. With extra butter.

 

I miss being in a church with a large congregation with a lot of kids. I miss the Christmas program where the kids would all learn various Bible passages telling the story of the birth of Jesus. I miss having a choir.

 

I was in 5^th grade when the Rudolph cartoon was shown. I felt a definite kinship with the misfit toys.

 

I was in 6^th grade when the Charlie Brown Christmas was shown. I was enthralled by the fact that Linus was allowed to quote scripture. I loved the whole show. I still do.

 

I was in 7^th grade when the Grinch was shown. I had always been a big fan of Dr. Seuss books and seeing this one brought to life was amazing.

 

Those 3 programs were integral to the season.

 

Sorry this is so short. That’s about all I’m up to this week.
