Journaling My Christmas Adventure



Once again having great fun in Shimelle's class. http://www.shimelle.com/forum. I'm pretty excited that I have been able to keep up with te first two days. This class has a great way of keeping me focused on the holidays and out of the craziness that seems to envelope all of usso easily. I really want to take the time each day to think about the season and rejoice in all I have to be thankful for.

I just realized that the scan on the LOs is so small that the journaling is impossible to read. The Day 1 journaling reads:

It’s the beginning of the Christmas season and I couldn’t be more excited! All the sights, smells and anticipation of the SEASON – bring it on! This season I vow to enjoy every moment to its fullest. This will be a season of firsts for our family:
· first time we’ve ever had all of the decorating done by December 1st
· first time we will travel by airplane for Christmas
· first time we have said we will truly limit what we spend
I hope to continue the excitement each day throughout the season. Nothing gives me more pleasure than enjoying the holidays with my family and friends.
Here’s to a Joyful Holiday!

Day 2 says:

Only in San Diego can you put your Christmas lights up in a tank top and shorts and then two days later have drizzle and want to put on your heaviest flannel jammies to snuggle under a Christmas throw and watch a roaring fire. The roaring fire is probably a stretch this year as we have yet even to turn the heat on yet. We’ve had a couple of chilly mornings but for the most part, we need a calendar in San Diego to know when it is time for Christmas because we can’t count on the weather changing as a sign. This year I think we had cooler weather in June than we’ve had so far in these first two days of December.
