I wish I had an elf costume to wear today.

November17

Christmas bells are ringing in the Starlite office today as we get ready to throw 4 (FOUR!!!) simultaneous end=of-the-year parties in our elementary school programs this afternoon.  In the last 18 hours, we’ve gone through over 1,000+ yards of wrapping paper, 19 rolls of tape and, at last count, 7 spools of ribbon.  And the incredible part?

We’re not even done yet.

Be back tonight, tomorrow, NEXT YEAR with a real post.  For now, I’ve got to pretend to be an elf.

Which, in modern times, amounts to running to Wal-Mart to buy more tape.

    When I was younger (10ish), my church had a clown ministry (weird, I know). I was an elf. It took 2 adults 15 minutes to get my pointy rubber shoes on my feet. And don’t even get me started on how much it hurt when I had to rip my pointy glued-on ears off.

    Don’t do it!

    Hey, just wanted to say that I had to google you just to tell you I miss your comments on the Boo\Big Mama’s blogs. Glad to see you are still happily in full swing.

    Keep up the good work!
