Just one more day...

Well...this is IT! Today was the last day for handing out Christmas Hampers...and tomorrow is the last day for Kettles. I am so exhausted. This was such a busy time for me...but I got through it and everything went really smoothly! It is so hard to believe that the time is already up.

AND...ready for it...my friends Josh and Lorelle arrive tomorrow night to visit! They are visiting from Australia...and I am a bit dissapointed in our weather. Today it was RAINING for goodness sake...this is Canada...land of snow and ice! I just want some beautiful snow for Christmas! I'll keep praying.

Well...I should get some rest...have much shopping to do for Christmas tomorrow AND have to finish up the final kettle day!

Adventures with the wonderful Zoe Fay

Today I got the joy of having some fun adventures with my friend Zoe. We were rushing around trying to get things on our "to do" lists done and having a blast at the same time! I must say that the best part of the day was when I dropped our proof of parking ticket under the van and Zoe had to crawl under to get it...it was pretty hilarious!

Wow...Christmas is such a busy time of year in the Salvation Army. I have been running and running and running without stopping since 2 weeks ago. I'm so tired.

Christmas Kettles are on my brain all the time...or toy distribution...or BOTH! I do have to say that I really do love the Kettle Campaign. I love standing on a kettle and just singing out some Christmas carols or jumping up and down in the freezing temperatures to keep warm during 2 or 3 or 4 hour shifts! It also brings me a lot of joy to see people who are really enjoying the Christmas season and getting into the spirit of Christmas!

Today I was blessed by some help picking up the kettles by my new friend from Australia, Emma, she was such a huge blessing to me tonight because I was exhausted and didn't really feel like pushing on...but we got to laughing and I made it through!
