Christmas Spirit

It is so hard to make sure the holiday spirit stays with us with some many things distracting us.  I decided last week, that I needed to set goals for the season. 

1. I have been listening to Christmas music since Halloween.  I used to hate when my mother would play it growing up and now, I am the dork.  Thanks mom!
2. I have decided that I will look for someone to serve everyday.  It would remind myself that I am not the center of the universe (Dang it.) 
3. Watch a Hallmark movie and cry!
4. Everyday-make a list of items I am grateful for aka tender mercies. 
5. Laugh or doing something silly to make people laugh.
6. Not let the stress of shoppers, commericals, finances, job, etc... destroy my spirit
7. Remember it is not my job to save the world, just live in it.
