Tuesday Tip

How the weeks do fly. It seems like about four months ago that Rowland drove friends to the airport for their Christmas holiday!!
I had such a good Sunday. We invited the grandchildren over to help decorate the Christmas tree. When Sara-Jane, Danielle and I went to see Harry Potter, (awesome movie) Danielle mentioned that it was a long time since we'd made "do-it-yourself pizzas" so I decided that would be lunch on Sunday for the tree dressing. The parents came too - most welcome, so we were 14 and Timothy did a really good job at the pizza oven as head chef. What fun.
It did however set me to thinking how fortunate we all are to be able to celebrate such things. What do you do if you're a dustbin person or a shack dweller? No job, but still, it would be nice to show some festive spirit.
This year, instead of putting out the old decorations after Christmas, along with the dead tree, how about sorting through what you have and leaving the rest out on bin collection day, before Christmas, perhaps someone will find cheer when they take them home? You might even be inclined to put a small gift or some fruit or biscuits along with your "stuff". What about the old tablecloth, you've been meaning to get rid of it anyway? Ooh and how about a few stuffed toys or books for the kids?
Let's just do it.
