Christmas
Is it just a day at the end of the year?
A season of joy, merrymaking and cheer?
Is it people and presents and glittering trees?
Ah no, it is more than any of these.
For under the tinsel and hidden from sight
Is the promise and meaning
of that first Christmas night
When the shepherds stood in wondered awe
And felt transformed by what they saw.
So let us not in our search for pleasure
Forego our right to this priceless treasure
For Christmas is a God-given day
And let us remember to keep it that way.

GOOD MORNING !
I’m sipping that good coffee this morning and it’s Cinnamon,sticky bun flavor today. I’ve got several good flavors to have over the holidays. DS #1 gave this one to me and DS#4 bought Vanilla Sugar Cookie flavor when he was home and I found some Cinnabun flavored coffee too. I’ll be trying them all out. Mmmmm good !
For the past 3 days my alarm clock didn’t go off when it was supposed to. So since it’s important that I get up each morning,, I decided to buy a new one yesterday. I set it up and turned it on last night, but the alarm didn’t go off this morning, so I’m thinking it doesn’t work right either. I guess I’ll have to take it back for a refund. I’ll try again tonight first, as maybe it’s not set correctly.
My body alarm system is what woke me up. I guess that I need 7 hours of sleep each night, because that is when I wake up naturally.
This weekend will finish up everything I need to do to make my house ready for Christmas and the week ahead will be a short one as I have Friday off from work. The following week is Christmas on Monday which is a paid holiday and then I also have the next day off as a vacation day.
Let the celebration begin !

Kind of nice to wake up naturally without an alarm, isn't it? When I'm working I seemed to always wake up way before the alarm.
Hope you have a good day...and enjoy this weekend.
