SSS Delivered - Part One

Priority Mail must be Santa's best friend! A box was dispatched from the southern U.S. and arrived promptly! It is just the Poster (me), not the Post Office that is a wee bit slow this year!
A beautiful stuffed, with surprises-not fiber fill, stocking was out of the box in a flash! Then quickly emptied to reveal a bunch of goodies!
Play a game of I Spy-Can you spy the red triangle and a red circle? They're on a kaleidoscope.
Next, do you see a yellow triangular box? It has the legendary Toblerone candy in it!
My SSS also included this divine angel with three hearts! Did she know that I sign my email notes to Sarah with three hearts? One for her daddy, one for me, and one for her. ♥♥♥
On the reverse side is this lovely thought.

You did notice that there are more packages, right? I'll share more another time.

Merry Christmas

Now Christmas preparations will begin here at home. This was the night for the children to present their pageant at church and my heart is ready for Christmas to begin. At the piano I only have a side view of the beautiful children, but can feel their excitement and see all the family members and friends in the pews. After the program our Sunday School superintendent presented the director and me with poinsettias.
I've always loved reading The Legend of the Poinsettia to my students which shares the true meaning of gift giving and honoring the Christ child.

May you find  His Peace this Christmas.

Door Prize

Our TPO, Tiger Parent Organization, is having their 7th Annual Holiday Craft Show this Saturday.
Sarah and I are going to have a table with a variety of things we've been making. We are also going to have a drawing for a Tea for Two basket. This is what is ready so far, with more things to be added when the two of us get together Friday afternoon. Then the cellophane and a pretty bow to finish it. Wally and I did a table many years ago so I know this will be a lot of work. I've been taking things to school each day to keep in my classroom which means setting up will be easy--walking down the hall to the gym. I'm sure most people would love that set-up! Have a wonderful week!
