Wow! It’s been a long time, once again, now hasn’t it? I promise to do better about that.
Well, it’s finally Christmas break for me! And boy, has is been crazy so far! My local Institute did a huge service project and provided a Christmas for 18 families in the are who were in need of a Christmas. It was absolutely wonderful! I even donated a few art pictures. It was really cool to see everyone getting so involved. I’ve never seen so many people at the Institute before, and it was totally worth it. So many people came to help make hats, quilts, scarves, paint doll houses, make ornaments, donate clothes, and all sorts of other things. It was fantastic! I particularly enjoyed seeing the men helping to make a quilt.
Two of my very dear friends have also gotten me involved with another Christmas giving project. It’s pretty awesome! I’ll let you check it out: EcoFirst Christmas Project. They work for the company, but I think it’s a really neat thing to have happening here that’s local again.
All of this just got me thinking about how cool the Christmas spirit is. I wish it could stay around all year. I think that’s going to be my new years goal, to try to always be this happy and helpful during the rest of the year.
But I wanna hear from you guys! What are you up to for the break? Anything spectacular? I know I have a few fun plans. I’m off to St. George to play for the weekend, for starters. I also have a few other Christmas projects to work on. I’m making my nephews Harry Potter wands. Yep. You read right. Harry Potter wands. I have taught my nephews well. 
So well that they know a large majority of the spells and love to watch the shows with me. And the oldest is only five! HA!
Well, until next time. Hopefully it won’t take me so long this time.
