I am NOT going to be Scrooge this Christmas!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
It has been a whirlwind year!! I got hired at St. Luke's Episcopal School to teach 7 & 8 grade English. I was interviewed one day and started the very next day. Whew!!!!!The kids in private school are so much more studious than regular public school. They really pay attention to their grades and they STUDY!!!!!!!!!!! Now, we have just had our first semester exams. The kids worked so hard, I was very proud. I am now looking forward to my own Christmas time with my own children. They are so wonderful. I always feel that they spoil me during this time. They always want a list from Kirk and me declaring our wishes for Christmas. To tell you the truth, I have everything I could ever want. I always get so much every year--it is given with such love that it almost makes me cry. I did not put a lot on my list this year, because I have so much and Kirk and the kids said, "You didn't put very much on your list." Truth is , I don't need more than what I already have. I am blessed. (This was said without being sappy!!!!!) As I get older, the things that mean the most to me are the times spent with those I love and the memories that we have made over the years. May all of you have a Blessed Christmas full of times spent with those you love and the memories that you made.
