Hard to believe Christmas will be here before I know it. I
had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend. I spent time with the
family and read some books and did some shopping (not on Black Friday) and made
candy. We’ve officially decided to call it Brown Friday since that’s the day
the candy making commences and chocolate gets everywhere. Oddly enough, with my
dad gone, my mom got up early and started the chocolate melting. We started
rolling and dipping right after I got there around 10:00 and were completely
finished and had the mess cleaned up by 4:00. Seriously the fastest candy
making year ever. I missed my dad being there. It was always his job to make
sure the chocolate was melting and the nuts were chopped. Ha ha…the chocolate
probably doesn’t dare not melt quickly with my mom in charge.
We also got a snow storm yesterday so there is white stuff
all around. I hope it lasts so we can have a white Christmas. I’m almost
finished with the Christmas shopping, even.
But before I get too deep into Christmas, I want to take a few moments
more to be thankful.
My car is still running
The internet – even though it distracts me way too much
Grocery stores so I can just go buy food
People that share recipes on Pinterest or the aforementioned
internet
My piano
Electricity
My little home that may not be grand or fancy and needs new
carpet but fits me perfectly
Hot water right out of the tap
Family game nights
All of my kiddos who are growing up so fast
And much, much more. Everything I have is because I have
been blessed by my Heavenly Father.
Now the Christmas season can begin and I’ll still be
counting my blessings. Did you see, I even put up a tree this year!
