mmm hmmm

things I like: moms singing songs to their children.

things I don't like: moms(and everybody else) rushing out the day after Thanksgiving at 4am (yes, that's when some stores are opening) to gobble up those Black Friday savings.

things I like: my kids

things I don't like: kids in parenting magazines who look possessed and or like an alien

things I will always like: mom's stuffing because it has apples in it

see you in a few: the parents don't have a computer at their house, let alone Internet access!

all I want this holiday season

Simple Gifts

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come round right.


-Elder Joseph Brackett
