Holiday Exhaustion

Working retail at this time of year really sucks the life out of me. I want to be working on my Christmas cards and cookies, wrapping gifts, and decorating my house, but when you are at work for seven days straight, 10-12 hours each day, and only get one weekend off between Thanksgiving and Christmas - who wants to do much of anything? I must applaud my husband and myself because we at least have an advent calendar going and are doing it daily with JMS to try to start teaching him the meaning of Christmas. What is the treat inside you ask? An animal cracker...to him...WOO HOO!!!! For you and me...I'm looking for the starbucks extra shot....an extra strength tylenol, and a soft pillow to land on when I'm done. :) He tried to share his cookie with baby Jesus tonight. "Num num," he said.

The animal cracker story is just precious. What a cutie.

Good luck with the energy level. I don't work in retail, but I'm now considering hitting the coffee. :)

Hang in there!

I LOVE your new background. It looks great! And what a sweet story--I love hearing about kids learning about Jesus. What a precious memory.

very cute. I was always a big fan of the chocolate ones :) we also had one that we did every year with little plastic nativity pieces. I love nativities!
