Well, Christmas Day went well, although it rained all day quite heavily. We are all breathing a sigh of relief because if it had been snow, it would have been very difficult to get around.
Here's a funny video of a kid going crazy over his Xbox 360 present.
L was telling me about this movie called 'Precious' that she saw recently. It's no Cinderella story. Imagine a horrific life that seems to just get worse through no fault of your own. And you keep going until it improves, although things will never be perfect.
On the lighter side, I've been making these low fat Pillsbury crescent rolls with a smear of light cream cheese and they are great for a quick breakfast. Just smear less than a teaspoon of your favourite cream cheese onto the croissants before rolling them up and bake. We like the 'light garlic' or 'light chive and onion' flavours.

Hi Christine,
Glad you had a good day
The article on Selfish Giving was interesting and made me think about motivation -and who benefits most It's lovely to be able to give but I agree that sometimes it can cause embarrassment and resentment
We had a lot of rain on Wednesday and Thursday; if it had been snow I doubt all my children would have been able to get home.
Yesterday the rain turned to beautiful white snow. We ended up with enough to call it a White Christmas. It covered the grass, but left nothing on the streets.
Barbara, glad you caught that article, I thought it was a really interesting perspective too.
Kathy, glad you had a bit of a white Christmas.
I miss having snow for Christmas, even if it is only a small dusting. We had pouring rain here too!
That article about selfish giving really gave me food for thought. It's something I thought about when we helped families at our school. I'm glad you brought that article to our attention.
