Today was finally our
fun day to relax and we spent part of it doing a little Christmas shopping for
each other together. Glade even enjoyed
the pressure-less shopping while the 50-degree weather and a little sunshine cheered
him greatly. We had lunch in the mall
and shopped for neighbor gifts that we will give some time this week. We bought bags of fresh mandarin oranges and
bags of Hershey kisses to put on a bed of shredded decorative paper in treat
bags along with the story of The Christmas Orange. We’ll
tie the bags with red and green ribbons.
There are about 40 couples here and five single sisters, so our work is
cut out for us. People have been leaving
cookies and chocolate treats at our door for several days now and it is our
turn to share.
It was a wonderful day and
we are trying to soak in every precious minute of this glorious season. Every day we bask in the shine of the
brilliant lights on the temple grounds and will be sad when darkness replaces
the light.
P.S. We would love to see photos of your Christmas happenings!
