Merry Christmas!

It is that time of year again - spending time with friends and family, standing in line, baking goodies, hiding the gifts, and putting up the decorations. Since I have not posted, I was given the "opportunity" to compose a message for Christmas. However, since I work in retail, I am not sure that I am the best choice for the job!

I have to say that people have less patience during the holidays and they do not realize that they should be thankful for all the blessings they do have - a warm house, clothing, and family. People should be more thankful during this time of recession and not worry about getting the latest toy. It has definitely been a crazy season this year!

I am thankful for being out of school for the last three weeks, even though it is driving me crazy! I am not sure what I should be doing with all this free time! I really enjoy school and working hard towards earning my degree in secondary history, even though it is going to take me longer than four years to accomplish the goal. I am glad to have some relaxing time before the next quarter starts to recoup from the shoppers and the work load at college.

The rest of the family is also taking time to relax from school and enjoy the season. We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
