Merry Christmas

Enjoy this merry time of year. Too many find this time frustrating. Look past the humbug and see the light ahead.

This thought process is difficult to reach and maintain. Sometimes family is difficult to tolerate. And, sometimes it brings many unhappy memories of friends and family lost.

And, for some reason so many people are cranky this time of year. Maybe it is the weather. Or, coming close to fiscal close and lots of paperwork.

Lets sum it up.

I do think, regardless of religion or your beliefs, this is a special time of year. Our society here has lost much of the start of Christmas; however, society has made this a time to celebrate family and friends. So lets celebrate.

Cheers.

Tis' the season for gift giving.

As the Christmas season implies giving gifts to friends and family, remember to be thoughtful.

Being rushed is no excuse for not giving thought to what you purchase.

My reminder for me to run and verify my backups of the Christina pictures and videos.

I should call them the 'Christina Files'.

As I think of it I should take more video of Christina.

Happy Backup!

Christina really enjoys being outside. Regardless of the weather, if she wants to be outside, we go.

Christina still does not want to watch TV with me. No movies, shows, videos or anything I can thought of. It really is not a bad thing if your child would rather spend time outside than watch TV.

I have found that as much as I enjoy being outside, I prefer to sit and watch the world go by. Christina prefers to be out and walking around.

With the first snow fall, Christina and I walked the trail we will use in the backyard. I used the same path when putting up the holiday decorations in the backyard. It was more steps. Many more steps, but it will help on later days to prep the trails.

I also unpacked the sprayers for coloring the trails. Figured now was better than when I want to use them. I usually end up coloring the snow on Friday night after Christina goes to bed. Fridays are always a late night for us to get home so I generally do not start until after 23:00. It takes me about two hours to color the trails. That is one gallon every fifteen minutes including mixing. I don't think that is too bad.

I wait as long as possible to color the trail. Just in case it snows and would then cover all my work. Ah, the weather.
