A Note From Michelle 12-14-24

December 13, 2024

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone feeling 11 days out from Christmas? My kids had their orchestra concert together on the same night this year! That may not seem like a big deal, but for the first time in forever (as you sing Frozen in your head), this is the first December we haven't had an overload of performances leading up to the holiday. Coincidentally, my son gets to celebrate his birthday on a Saturday without a concert! For the last few years, he has had an orchestra concert on his birthday. Since his birthday is today, he is able to relax from school and extra curricular activities and enjoy the day. 

I can proudly say that I have wrapped all of the presents that are in my house. (Unless there are gifts in the boxes I haven't opened that were delivered yesterday). This is a HUGE accomplishment that I am pretty excited about. I haven't finished decorating the house or even thought about Christmas cards, BUT the gifts are wrapped. My goal is to finish decorating this weekend so that the house can be ready to go and I can enjoy it for the rest of the holiday season. I made a big dent the weekend after Thanksgiving and then haven't had much time or energy to finish. Hopefully, I can make it happen this weekend.

We are excited to be wrapping up our week of Spread the Light in our community. I hope you were able to join in and received a bag or passed one along. If you didn't, it's not too late to make a bag of cheer and pass it along to someone to spread light and kindness this season. Tag us on our social media page and use the hashtag #mkspreadthelight to share your photos with us. A big thank you again to all of our local business sponsors!

We still have exciting things coming your way as we bring a close to the year, so keep your eyes out.

Have a wonderful week!
Michelle
