I love Christmas.  What I don't enjoy is the rushed, hectic feelings I have during the month of December.  I had planned a lovely Show and Tell  post about our annual town celebration, "Christmas in the Streets."   Instead my computer crashed (again!) with all my photos stored on it. 
No problem, I thought,  as I dragged my daughter's old computer into my room.  I've been tagged by Kimalita, so I will just post that.   Not that I have had a chance to get on the computer anyway.  Here's my plans for the next two weeks:

1.  This weekend-- niece's 12th birthday, host a Sunday School get together for 25,  Children's play at church.

2.  Next weekend-- daughter's 16th birthday party,  Christmas contata at Church.  I also need to finish Christmas shopping for my father, who told me this week he needs me to buy presents for him and  get a bunch of required paperwork from the local school board for my daughter's driver license  (a fairly new state policy, required even if you homeschool.)

Hopefully, I'll be posting and visiting (with a repaired computer!)  soon.  
In the meantime, for your reading enjoyment, , here's the Christmas tag.....2. Real or fake tree? Real. It’s a family tradition.
