Will's Program
Will was in the cutest program this past week. It was called "Forty Winks 'Til Christmas". He did a little dance.It was all very cute. I have to say his teachers went all out. At some of the schools you are lucky if your kids class sings a song, much less have a real play type program. So we were grateful for the thought they put into it. 
Christmas Tree
We have a family tradition where we go to a movie and then cut down a tree. We saw "A Christmas Carol" in 3-D. It was very good. If you haven't seen it you should try. Then we went to a new tree farm ,since our old farm closed down. The new farm was in Clark's Hill, SC. It was nice but they cut the tree for you and our kids like to take turns cutting it down. Otherwise it was a nice setup. Anyway this is the tree we picked.It only took 4 tries to get this picture with all the kids looking at the camera and not touching each other. A new record for my kids. LOL

Things to do at Christmas
Silly Things To Do At Christmas
1. Stand in front of a supermarket wearing a Santa suit, ringing a bell and wishing everyone a Happy Hanukkah.
2. Wrap yourself in swaddling clothes and lay in the manger of the neighbor's nativity scene.
3. Put on a Santa suit and open a mall kiosk that sells reindeer jerky and Easter Bunny filets.
4. Call Park Rangers in your area and tell them Rudolph is sick.Ask if you can borrow one of their reindeers. If they tell you no, then yell at them telling them they are heartless bastards for ruining Christmas for all the children around the world.
5. Wear a Santa suit to the nearest red light district and stand on the corner saying "Ho! Ho! Ho!" as women walk by.
6. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children that they've been naughty and won't be getting any presents this year.
7. Create snow sculptures in your yard of snowmen in suggestive poses.
8. Buy a package of Keebler's E.L. Fudge Sandwich Cookies and hand them out to children saying this is what happens to the bad elves.
9. Decorate your yard to look like a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer crashed and burned. Walk back and forth along the street muttering, "Oh, the humanity".
10. Get a job playing Santa at a corporate Christmas party and ask everyone if they'd like to see some naked pictures of Santa with the Boss's wife.
11. Sell jars of water, advertising them as Frosty the Snowman urns.
12. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children they'll get what you give 'em and that's that!
13. Get a job as a mall Santa and then tell all the children you are sick of the milk and cookies crap and you'd prefer a beer and a hot blonde instead.
14. Sell Grinch-skin rug
15. Stand on a street corner selling dime bags of mistletoe.
16. Post a sign in front yard that says Carolers Welcome. Then when they get almost to the front door turn on the sprinklers.
17. Randomly replace one bulb in your neighbor's lights so they no longer work. Repeat this every day until Christmas.
18. Decorate your yard for the holidays using you neighbor's decorations.

Thanksgiving
A friend sent this to me and I thought it was to cute not to share. I apologize I have no idea who originaly wrote it.
'Twas the Night of Thanksgiving
With apologies to Clement C. Moore, author of
A Visit From St. Nicholas ('Twas the Night Before Christmas)
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep
The leftovers beckoned --- The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So I raced to the kitchen, Flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.
I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground !!
I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky....
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie,
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees ...
HAPPY EATING TO ALL !!
PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE !!

More Thanksgiving Fun!
Here are some more Thanksgiving Quotes and Jokes. Just so you know my kids loved the ones from before, hope yours do as well.*Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. ~Erma Bombeck
*How many cooks does it take to stuff a turkey?
One but you really have to push hard to get her in there.
It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. ~Alistair Cooke
Ah! on Thanksgiving day....
When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,
And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.
What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?
What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?
~John Greenleaf Whittier

Thanksgiving
I love Thanksgiving! Is there a better holiday out there? I mean family, food, fun, and football. Ok, I could take or leave the football part, but I do love the rest of it. Think about it no gifts to buy, wonderful food to eat, sitting around catching up with all your relatives and friends, and it is ok if you just sit around after watching tv. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, I know I will.
These are some things I found to get us into the spirit. I will try to post more all the way up to the big day -enjoy!
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P. Powell
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
(It was the chicken's day off)
*What key has legs and can't open doors?
(Pilgrims!)
