Feliz Navidad

I'm very glad we've reached the end of the workweek. These cold mornings are too much! Tomorrow morning, I look forward to just staying cuddled up in bed, nestled in the covers until my eyes open on their own accord. I'm very lucky in that Jessie almost always wakes up early automatically, usually before the kids(!) and he and the kids watch cartoons until I wake up. I know, I know, I'm lucky. Jessie doesn't mind though, he looks forward to his weekly dose of the Ninja Turtles and GI Joe. haha
My new annoying thing lately is calling Jessie whenever Feliz Navidad comes on the radio and singing it to him. haha Poor Jessie. And this morning, I called my brother, who NEVER answers his phone (hmm is he trying to tell me something?). I knew he wouldn't answer, so I left a chorus and verse of Feliz Navidad on his voicemail. Ha! That'll teach him not to answer when I call. (Sure it will.) I can't help it, I love that song. I just want to share it with everyone!!! :D If you want me to call you singing it, just let me know and it will be done. I'm sure I'll get a lot of requests. (ha)
This weekend we're going to buy gifts for our Angel Tree angel. A sweetie named Justin, who is 6 years old. He wants a Bible, a coat, trucks, cars, and books. It makes me so sad to think he might not have a coat today. Laura, who has one of the most generous hearts I know, gave me some money to go towards his coat. My mom (another generous heart) is giving us a toy truck she bought, so we ought to be able to give him most of what he wants. It makes me so happy to think of him opening his gifts on Christmas morning. :) This is part of what makes Christmas one of the best times of the year. Helping other people gives you a feeling beyond compare. We're also giving him a Green Eggs and Ham book that I discovered in my closet the other day. The gifts have to be new, but this book is so shiny and crisp, it can't be far from new. I bought it from the library, it was a donation someone had given. Other than me reading it to Seth and Lily a couple of nights ago, I don't know that its ever been read.
Speaking of Dr. Seuss, he is fast becoming Seth and Lily's favorite author. Thanks to a Dr. Seuss audio book I checked out for them recently, they can almost recite Green Eggs and Ham and another book called I Don't Want to Get Up Today. The funny thing is, they didn't know Dr. Seuss' name until last night.

them:"Who is Dr. Seuss?"

me: "Uh, he wrote these books."

them: "Oh".

Seth can read a lot of Green Eggs... now too. I'm so proud! Well, I have more to say, but I shall leave it for later. Feliz Navidad.
