I love Christmas! Last night Jay and I decorated my house, put up the tree, took out the Nativity set, and listened to Christmas music! YEAH!! He would have waited but we made a deal that Christmas could begin on Dec. 1, I even waited 2 days! Last year was the first year I set up a Christmas tree at my house, it was special to do it with Jay, and now we can do it every year together!
Some of the best memories from my childhood come from Christmas time: Family Christmases at Blue Lake, and in Banff, special Christmas mornings when Joel and I woke my parents up insanely early, my dad singing O Holy Night… the memories are endless. Ironically the worst memories of my childhood also come from this time of year: Dad’s diagnosis, the Christmas we spent in the hotel when dad was having his treatment. In the end Christmas is still one of my favourite times of the year… the tree, the smells, the peeking at presents, and of course the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus! AHHHH I love it!
Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Another Post
When I was in grade 11 my biology teacher talked about Bio 20 and 30 being like a train, it pushed and pulled you forward and it wan in your best interests not to jump off. If you did it would be hard to get back on. Really he was trying to tell us not to slack, skip class, or take it lightly. Right now my train is moving really fast! There seems to be a tone of stuff to do, and not enough time to do it.
Report cards are done, and that is a relief! If I could not do one thing in my job it would certainly be Report Cards. It is so difficult to give marks you know are going to disappoint people. Overall they went okay though.
Now it is on to Christmas. I have assigned parts and am starting practices for the Christmas play (Come join us Dec. 20th at 7:30). Soon it will be practice, practice, and more practice at school. Fun times, and yet it takes a lot of time to find things for everyone to do.
I am starting my Christmas shopping next weekend. Yes, I haven’t even started yet! Luckily I only have my students, Jay, and my family to buy for (and maybe a couple of more). My hope it to get it all done on Friday and Saturday. I am looking forward to enjoying tie with friends over the weekend too. It seems like forever since we saw our Winnipeg friends so that will be enjoyable.
Okay there is a quick update.
