Thoughts on Keeping Christmas

Let Me Not Keep Christmas

Let me not

wrap

stack

box

bag

tie

tag

bundle

seal

KEEP

Christmas.

Christmas kept

is liable to mold.

Let me give Christmas away

unwrapped

by exuberant armfuls.

Let me

share

dance

LIVE

Christmas

unpretentiously

merrily

responsibly

with overflowing hands

tireless step

and sparkling eyes.

Christmas given away

will stay fresh-

even until it comes again.

LOVE that! and how appropriate (especially for my mindset this year)!

Bee sting allergies - I really don't know how you would know if someone was allergic until after the fact.....I'm guessing you could ask your doctor and see if they could do a little skin prick test? If not, be sure to keep LOTS of benadryl on hand. Our neighbor is really bad allergic to wasps and she has to keep a syringe of Rx on hand in the event of a sting.........yikes!

But could you believe that article? I about flipped - "enslaved".........and then that they don't "take from the animal"........well it's not like the bees are milked!! They drink the nectar and then "put it away" in their hive - the honey originates from plants for Heavens sakes...........

Takes all kinds - I guess.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving those great scriptures, too!
Have a great weekend!
