Our evening Christmas service:

The icon of the birth in the middle of the church

My eldest kid reading 1 of the many old testament and epistle readings. They are chosen because they tell of Christ being born, or of the ever lasting Kingdom that he brings.

The oil lamp at the church entrance

Church, new cross and fixed dome. Whoop!

At the front of the church, Christ all dressed up for Christmas

And Mary with the Christ child all dressed up for Christmas

Walking home after the service, my barn, shop behind it.

Asthma is better now.... But it tends to bother me more later.... hopefully tonight will be better..... Hips are just killing me though

Try to rest up neighbor. If the weatherman is right we have a "present" from Mother Nature on the the way by Wednesday night.

Hubby got me a moose for Christmas
I love him. I thinking I'll name him AL the Christmas moose

Rock on!

 

[shawluvsbirds]

So back story on the moose. .
I had to get a 10 dollar gift for my work party.
I saw all the different Christmas moose at the dollar General and I thought they were so cute but. . I ended up getting something else.

While I was at the party one of the girls leans over to me and starts saying how she hoped the gifts were better than last year (I wasn't there last year) and telling me how someone had gotten this gawd awful Christmas moose and the eyeball was falling off when they opened it
She even had a pic . . yep it was the same moose I almost got.

Then there was another girl that was being all snooty and refusing to play the games and wouldn't participate in anything . .

Then the bosses 16 year old daughter was there who don't even work for us, she was throwing tantrums and trying to win every game and being obnoxious. .

Then the girl who got the moose last year bought laundry soap for her gift exchange. . which is fine with me but a little tacky when you know why she done that.
So suffice it to say I was pretty wound up when I got home and hubby got to hear all about it. I don't see
WHAT THE FLOCK IS WRONG WITH GETTING A CHRISTMAS MOOSE? It's a 10 dollar limit for a work gift exchange. . what can you expect to get. Its just for fun.
why are people so ungrateful? If you didn't like it. . regift it.
I am just appalled at the way people act. For crying out loud.
I told hubby I was going to go after Christmas and see if I could get me one of those moose decorations on sale. and if the eyeball falls off well by golly I'll just glue that sucker back on there and be happy.
