Due to the insane pressure to ignore my pressing Christmas card responsibilites, I am posting! Sheesh! R u happy now? Is 11:00pm really the time for an exhausted, glitter blind mother to write about nothing? I guess we'll see... A reminder to Natalie to put empty bread bags over her socks before putting on her boots while in Utah. Don't want to get your feet wet while playing in the snow. So were bread bags the only choice back then, or just the choice of the poor? Like the triangle sandwiches and such? Was there a plethora of weather resistant clothing options that we were unaware of? Hmmm?

Isabella's class has had a couple of presentations by other parents of their religious December holidays. A bit of "Spin the Dradle" (sp?), the Muslim holiday, Eid (The Feast of Sacrifice in Islam). Upon learning this, my friend offered to share her religious December holiday. This was met with some hesitation so she is storming her way into Isabella's class tomorrow, ignoring the obvious discomfort of the teacher, to share her religious December tradition. What religion might this be you ask? That would cause her cross necklace wearing teacher to be uncomfortable? That's right, Christianity. Heaven forbid we let the majority share their views. We might offend someone... So... I have to get back to the glitter haze of my Christmas cards and preparations for my 8:30am presidency meeting. Love to all.
