Good Morning,
Thursday it is. I am heading out soon with a hot mug of Door County Christmas Coffee in the console of my truck and a hope that this day goes well at work. We have been pretty busy this month and it goes with closing out the year. I am looking for ward to some Christmas vacation this month.
Ecclesiastes 9:9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your life, that He has given you under the sun.
Our Christmas shopping is getting to be less and less every year. We still purchase presents for some friends and family but no where close to what we did 37 years ago. We actually miss the Christmas shopping. M wife Rene and I would take a day off from work and shop all day, lists in hand and make a big event out of it. Now we kind of shop a little all year long with no need to put in a day of power shopping.
I was just thinking that Rene and I need a day of just being together, eating some lunch and taking in a matinee at the theater. A box of popcorn later and we will be ready for some Tums and a rest. We both agreed that if the Lord grants us another year, we will resume saving our shopping for December and enjoying a day of crowds and looking for deals. We took the fun out of giving gifts to others by just looking for convenience. We need a little more Christmas effort!
Food for thought. Has Christmas become too convenient?
Marty
