So it's Christmastime here, and it completely does not feel like it.
I've been trying to set the Christmas mood, but so far nothing has helped. Playing the two Christmas songs on my iPod on loop (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by James Taylor and Merry Christmas, War is Over by John Lennon...in case you were wondering), baking delicious baked good with lots of cinnamon, making ornaments for our tiny volunteer Christmas tree, wrapping presents...it doesn't matter what I do, it still doesn't feel like Christmas. I think the fact that it was 90 degrees outside yesterday doesn't help.
Tamea (friend from college, for those reading this who don't know her) is in town and we are planning to celebrate tomorrow by hanging out with the 2-4 year olds here at GGA and then eating steak with two other volunteers. After Christmas Tamea and I will be traveling to Cape Town and the Garden Route for a little sightseeing and relaxation. Pray for us for safe travels!
Wishing you ridiculously happy holidays...

Merry Christmas, Stephanie!
If I could, I would send you snow and hot chocolate and carols to make it feel more like Christmas, but I know how Tamea feels about Christmas music.
Have fun hiking/camping/relaxing, and have a happy birthday tomorrow.
Stephanie, just blog "I got package." when it gets there. I want to know how long it took @ regular mail. I have "S.G.Blog" up on my Toolbar; I used a SNAIL, because it takes so long for you to get mail and messages...(time on the computer.) I love the poem by William Blake! (Reading and re-reading.) Love, Grams
We got YOUR Christmas card on Monday, January 7,'08. We loved how inovative you are and I appreciate the art talent. Art has been my guide all my life.
Love you, Grams
