One thing I’ll always remember about this Christmas is watching Harrison pull up a chair as soon as he looked up and saw the Yule Log.
The Yule Log stayed on all morning as we enjoyed Christmas morning.
And while parts of our Christmas were a little bumpy this year (and not just the camera that takes amazing pictures not wanting to work!), the kids loved playing with their new toys and driving me crazy until bedtime. In my book, that’s all that really matters.
Hope your Christmas was full of pie and holiday movies J

On the way over to Natalie’s school this morning for her holiday breakfast, I stopped to take a photo.
Not that the photo did the parish house any justice but trust me, it looked like Christmas.
Her class was decorated with an endless amount of projects by crafty Kindergarteners.
Natalie’s gingerbread man is the first one. The yellow shirt and green shorts pearl necklace wearing man.
She was nice enough to step away from the breakfast to take a photo for me.
And soon after I was shooed out of the class along with the other parents.
Instead of going into the auditorium like we were supposed to do, many parents left.
I didn’t get the memo we were supposed to stay or that jeans with skulls and bones on back pockets are in style.
So I kept walking over to my breakfast meeting.
Behind the lady pushing one doggy in her grocery shopping cart as the other festive dog walked next to her.
Bare tree branches with weird pod like things growing on them caught my eye.
As did the wreaths on these windows
There is nothing like Christmas in New York

I’ll get right to the point.
This is the season for giving and I want to give. To children.
The only way that will happen is if everyone reading this post participates.
Each comment posted below is the equivalent of $1 donated to DonorsChoose.org, the charity I’ve chosen.
More specifically, I will be helping Kindergarten classes with the money.
It could be just one class or many – depends on the amount of money raised.
From now through December 23rd, $1 will be donated for each comment up to $1,000.
You must post a comment answering the question below in order for it to count towards the total amount donated.
Randomizer will choose a winning post. That commenter will receive an Automoblox mini T9 pick up toy worth about $10.
(It won’t get there in time for the holidays but it will still be super cool when it arrives in the mail the last week of December. And if you don’t have a child or nieces and nephews… It’ll look pretty cool on your desk.)
Help spread holiday cheer to Kindergarten students.
Here’s the question:
As child, the Christmas/Hanukkah gift I wanted but never received was a _____________.
