Christmas inspiration



Skipping Christmas is so very tempting. I had a brazillion things to get done, but I had to keep reminding myself that things like Christmas decorating are the extras that make it all worth it. At our home, it starts with my decorating the mantle in the dining room/kitchen area, then Annamarie follows the theme for everywhere else in the house. This year Mckenna did the banister, too. Next yuletide hurdle was the Christmas letter, which Annamarie starts pressuring me to write in July----I woke up at work last night inspired and got it done. So now my job is my job; I picked up an overtime shift at Station 21; this is the view out my window. When I get too old for the copter maybe I'll bid in here.

Yeah - I haven't composed my letter - there was a LOT that happened this year - lots of ups & downs.

I hate being too wordy, so I'll try to trim it down as much as I can.

Good job getting your stuff done!

I never do a letter. I guess those that are close to me hear from me too often to not get the information first hand! I will hopefully get my cards out this year at a decent time and I have some new people to send to! Yay, reunion!

Cool! I guess you're trained as a regular firefighter too?

The copter is staffed by the pilot, the crewchief who is a fire captain, and the rescue medic, who is a firefighter paramedic
