Tara,
I'm so glad you are writing again. I can't wait ti see you this Christmas!
I've been thinking about the same thing this year about presents. I've tried not ot spend as much money as i usually do on presents, but I think that even if there isn't a bible verse that tells us giving presents is cool, showing people that you love them is always good. (though you don't have to do that through buying gifts, it is an easy way out.)
Mia-ow.
Hey Tara, I saw the DVD of the play you were in and you did a great job in your part!
Have a Merry Christmas and I'll see you at work in the New Year!
Thanks for the Simpsons DVD, Tara! Perfect choice.
Glad to see you had some time to update your blog. You're a lot of fun to hang out with, I've enjoyed our excursions shopping, there's so much to talk about :)
Congrats on your new kitty!
Re: Christmas Gifts... Christmas is the time we celebrate the birth of Jesus. I see the gifts as a bonus :) it's the commercial side of Christmas. I like the extra time off from work too, I get the chance to spend it with my friends/family.
I have to admit, I do love giving presents, it's an opportunity for me to give thanks to everyone who's touched my life throughout the year, a small token of appreciation, that's why I give gifts at Christmas.
Happy New Year Tara :)
Hey Tara, glad to see you've added a new post.
Lucky girl, a kitty for Christmas! You'll have to post some pictures of Mia for all of us to see.
RE: Gifts
Christmas can meen many things for different people. For myself, it reminds me of the childlike innocence that exists in all of us, and it represents peace and goodwill. But not all of us feel the same way. I find that I am able to shift the feelings of peace and goodwill to others simply by putting up some decorations and giving gifts. These are simply the rituals of the season, tools which help us spread cheer.
I give gifts as a way to celebrate God giving himself as a gift to all those willing to recieve his gift. He gave us a gift and all we have to do is say "thanks for coming down to earth and excepting the punishment for all the bad stuff I've done so that I don't have to get punished for it"
I want new pics!
