Thanksgiving has come and gone. It was a wondrous affair at my daughter's this year. She insisted on keeping it simple and by golly it was much less stressful! Our two families came together quite nicely and we had a bountiful feast! We were all thankful for the abundance of blessings that have come our way this year. Which of course got me thinking of how how I could personally rid Christmas this year of it's vainglorious coat of commercialism and ostentatious smug. So after a few hours of mulling it over, I sent the following email to my family and friends and thus the "Christmas Countdown 2009" has officially begun!! Fa-la-la-la-la, la,la,la,la!!
Following is a copy of the email sent:
Dear Family & Friends,
The countdown to Christmas has begun. To celebrate the Advent of Our Savior's birth, I will be sending you a "cheerful" duty to complete each day...if you can't do it on the day, it's OK, you can do multiple duties on a day to catch up!! I will keep adding each day's duty to the others so you don't have to waste time looking for emails, all of them will always be on one email. I will then post our experience on my blog http://dragonwinefly.blogspot.com/ on Christmas Day!! Please feel free to share any thoughts or experiences with me.
Let's start spreading the Christmas spirit....today's "cheerful" duty is:

Proverbs 15:30----A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.
On the first day of Christmas.....I gave a little Christmas cheer with a smile!
***say "Merry Christmas" to someone***
especially someone who appears to need a touch of human kindness
through face-to-face (preferred), email, phone, text...etc
