Television Influence on our blessings

The girls and I went out shopping for Christmas.  We saw some beautiful jewelry, and my little girl says "mom that jewelry is from jared's". I asked her, "What are you talking about?"  Then she repeated it 3 times.  By then, another shopper was looking and laughing.  I turned to look at her and asked if she heard that, and you already know what she said. "He Got It From Jared's" is always on the television for the holiday season, and she associated all jewelry for sale to them.  That is serious television influence, but I can't tell you if that is good or bad.

Reason for the Season

Sometimes it is so hard to get in the Holiday spirit with all of the commercialization.  With my 4-year-old blessing telling me to leave Santa Claus a credit card for him to get her gifts to almost every store staying up past midnight since before Thanksgiving, it makes you think about the Reason for the Season.

It really helps to listen to Christmas carols intently.  Not just the funny ones, but O Holy Night, and ones such as that.  We have to keep perspective this time of year.  If you can't buy your blessing(s) everything on the list, that is okay.  They will still love you.

Shower them with love this holiday season, and give them the real meaning of Christmas as often as you can.

Happy Holidays,

Cookies and Credit Cards

Princess Liyah: Mommie, can you get me a Hungry Hungry Hippo game?

SuperMommie: Sweetie, maybe we need to write this in your letter to Santa for him to get it for you.

Princess Liyah: Then, we need to leave him some cookies and a credit card.  No cupcakes, now. C R E D I T C A R D.

SuperMommie: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!
