On Day Six I start to think outside the box.
A few days ago a co-worker of mine walked by my desk and commented on the Christmas Music that was playing on my radio.
He said something to the effect that he was not in the holiday Spirit and whenever he hears Christmas music he just wants to ask ‘why.’
I told him, ” I listen to it because I FEEL like it.”
You know, this year has been a struggle for me. I have not been throwing myself into the season the way I normally do and I truly enjoy Christmas Music…and nobody is going t Scrooge that for me.
Since the music incident I have decided to find fun ways to enjoy the holiday. Like, today I sent an e-card to Expedition 22 crew who are on board The International Space Station. NASA has these Holiday E-Cards that you can use- you write a little message and sign your name and the city you are from.
Then you hit enter and poof…your e-card goes to the crew.
Image above: From the left (front row) are Commander Jeffrey Williams and Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov, flight engineer. From the left (back row) are T.J. Creamer, Maxim Suraev and Soichi Noguchi, all flight engineers.
So did I actually enjoy doing this?
Yes.
Yes I did.
So go ahead, send a message to the Expedition 22 Crew.
Well, while we are outside the box, let’s go a little further.
Let’s talk
bleccchhh
Presents.
I wish this was a real gift because I would REALLY give it to everyone I know.
It’s called A Screaming Tea Kettle
Cartoon by: Carolita Johnsoncartoonista, etc.
Of course, I wouldn’t tell them it screamed.
Where would the fun in that be?
Hey.
I’ve learned something here, when I don’t feel like I have to do the Christmas, or think about the holiday in a certain way
I am really liking it.
Whoo Hooo.
I’m feeling the Spirit tonight.
YAY!
