The boys are napping, the cookies are baking, the coffee is hot, White Christmas is playing in the background…Christmas is coming…
We’ve had fun making holiday goodies this year, cookies for teachers and co-workers, Chex Mix for neighbors and garbage men, and caramel popcorn for the firefighters at the fire station behind Kroger. Added bonus of bringing popcorn to the firefighters: tour of the fire station and fire trucks.
Every year the city sends a calendar to all the residents. It’s usually the calendar I hang in the pantry and use for the year; it also usually features a decent theme. Last year it was pictures of city employees demonstrating green tips, cute. This year I guess the theme was something along the lines of “sights of the city”. I’m not totally sure what they were going for, I just know that as soon as I saw that the picture for two separate months was an overpass -yes, an overpass, like the kind that get your car over railroad tracks-and one month was the highway –where you sit for an hour every morning on the way to work!- I threw it in the recycling bin. I have standards.
Which is why next year, I’m voting for a firefighter calendar. This town has TV quality firemen and women.
