Currently December

Listening: The Apple TV Radio App has a Christmas station called A Christmas Special. You can find it under the Adult Contemporary list. We’ve been playing it non-stop.

Loving: It goes without saying that I love Christmas time and the whole holiday season. The music, the lights, the tree, the decorations, the overall cheery atmosphere everywhere you go…what’s not to love? Maybe the mall on a Saturday afternoon.

Thinking: I need to be productive this weekend. I have a TON of marking and feedback to get through and I need to start wrapping gifts. This weekend is going to fly by.

Wanting: Here’s a confession: I’m a present snoop. That’s right. A few years ago I confessed to my parents that I had been snooping for my presents from the ripe age of 6 (at least that’s my earliest snooping memory). They were horrified. I’ll admit it has backfired on me a few times. Like that time I was convinced that the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD I found was for me and it ended up being for my brother. Talk about disappointment. Anyways, Rob is well aware of my ways and knows better than to hide my gifts in the house. Now I can’t snoop and I have absolutely no idea what he got me. It’s killing me.

Needing: A few weeks ago, one of my best friends had a beautiful baby boy named Jackson. We’re finally going to her place tomorrow to meet him. I can’t wait!!!

Giving: Last year I set the bar really high with my Grade Ones when we did a big Christmas project by helping a school in Uganda. The kids also sang Do They Know It’s Christmas Time in the holiday concert. Read all about it HERE. I wanted to do something meaningful again so we are getting into the giving mood by giving a friendly Christmas letter to Canadian soldiers who are currently stationed overseas. More on that to come in a later blog post.

Thanks Oh Boy Fourth Grade for the Currently!
