Ok, still upset, but want to start the holidays with cheer!

Yes.  I am bothered by the outcome of the situation in CA with Prop 8 and the literal trauma that it has bequeathed to all those who even thought about for a half a second, much less those who actually did something about it, God forbid.  BUT!  I will move into another, more festive topic.  (but I am still seething a little, fyi)

So.  We have enjoyed another wonderful, grateful Thanksgiving.  Complete with a delicious Larry turkey and way too much food.  It was all lovely and I am grateful for so many things.  I think I am even more aware of those things as we muddle through some rather intense changes in our world.  As we head into December and Christmas, I hope to really adjust the way we celebrate.  I want to share some magic throughout the month of December, rather than build everything up to one morning that always goes by too fast, and equated to a lot of pressure.  So, I am in search.  Search for events and traditions to share with the angels in my house that are now old enough to really appreciate some fun.  I have looked at ICE!  at Gaylord Texan, which is fab,  but a whopping 9 degrees under the tent.  Can we do that?  Dunno.  I will do Holiday in the Park at Six Flags and remember the incredible times had there as a teenager, so many years ago.  We will possibly do the North Pole Express in Grapevine.  I hear fun things about that.  

But, I am wondering what you do to kick off the season.  Share some ideas with us and let's have a wonderful, magic Holiday season, full of appreciation for a Savior that came to this earth to redeem us and teach us how to be happy, in all circumstances. 

Happy Holidays!
