To Blog or not to blog?

That is the question. I love Christmas! First of all it's a good excuse to clean out the old and organize. After a good Stake Conference, I came home made dinner, ate and then got in the mood to do some decorating, Christmas stuff of course. So what better way to do this but by playing Christmas music of course. David will start moaning and he'll pretend he doesn't like it, but as soon as he see's the room take on a red, white and green look, he starts singing along with whatever Christmas music is playing and does these weird antics like clapping his hands and mimicking me. I don't mind, I just keep doing what I'm doing. I'm not done yet, I thought I would pace myself. Tonight maybe the tree. I'll add some pics later when I get it just right. This is our 3rd year that David, Cecelia and I are volunteering to serve at the ST Patrick's Community Dinner. I love it because I don't have to cook especially it's just the three of us. Cecelia loves to serve. The first year we did it she said she wanted to have the Homeless people's table. She finds it intriguing, she said she would love to interview them and hear their story. Of course we told her no, but be polite. She is funny that way.

We will start preparing at 12:30pm and then we serve dinner between 1pm - 3pm. Anyone can come and enjoy a nice Thanksgiving dinner. You can have seconds and you can even take a To-go meal home. The best part, the servers can eat towards the end, and if we want we can even take a To-go meal home. The room is beautifully decorated with round and long tables, just like you would see at a nice restaurant and you treat the people that are assigned to your tables like special guests to a fancy restaurant. We have always had a good experience. By 3:15pm or so, you're done and you can enjoy the rest of your day. I hope those that come to this dinner go away feeling good and had a nice experience. I know that we do.
