It's December...

My favorite time of year is upon us.

Many people that I know get stuck in the frenzy that is Christmas. Being an organised chick, I am pretty much already organised. Not so much because I have spent hours of shopping for useless things for people; but because I have seen things throughout the year that I just [i]know[/i] xxx will love; so I have purchased it then and there. Some, I have even made. Not many, but a few.

Now all that is involved is wrapping them and writing a message to them. I buy cards for every person we give gifts to (I also send out recycled ones), just to write a short note telling them how wonderful I think they are. Because, to me, that is what Christmas is about.

It's about long days and warm nights, catching up with friends over a leisurely lunch, dinner or even at the park. It's for watching the kids faces light up with delight when they see the Christmas decorations.

It's the excitement that comes with the postie each day felt by you and your kids. It's the end of another year; a time for new beginnings to be paved and a time for summarising your year.

It's about waking up on Christmas morning and seeing that small little face light up with both delight and pure shock, all at the same time. And not knowing quite what to do. Seeing loved ones and laughing, and reminding yourself that this is what life is supposed to be.

I hope you all have a wonderful lead up to Christmas. For me, it's just as delightful as the day itself.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
