christmas

i love the fact that we still say merry christmas. i love the fact that there is a reason that we have this holiday. i love the fact that we don't, and won't take 'christ' out of 'christmas'. happy holidays just doesn't seem to cut it anymore now that people have made it an issue. before it meant thanksgiving, christmas and new years- now it means that you're trying to be politically correct. the fact that this is an issue is a sad thought.

so merry christmas to all- have a wonderful holiday celebration.

winding down...

the semester is winding down and the students are going home for break. it's a sad time of year in that respect. it's a happy time of year though in another- the holidays bring a sense of excitement to your spirit, the birth of Christ, the rememberance and celebration of it all.

we've been having late 'clarkson' fun nights- computer gaming, phase 10, bowling, movie, sergis; and tomorrow heading to ottawa. it will be sad when they're gone, and we look forward to them coming back.

there is a cedar tree out front of our house next to the porch which has been covered in ice and snow to the point it has completely bent over to touch the ground. that doesn't sound like such a big deal until you consider the fact that instead of walking out your front door, down the front steps, across the walk and to the car on the driveway- you now have to go through the basement to the driveway. not as convenient...but we're working on that. i think that poor cedar might be leaving us for good soon.

kevin: while you're there can you also look for a refrigerator stand?

liz: a refrigerator stand? do you mean microwave stand?!

kevin: refrigerator stand- microwave stand- i'm flexible!!
