Merry Christmas, from Saint Paul, Minnesota!
A Little Magic
Tonight we fed the reindeer, we watched The Grinch, Rudolph, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, and The Polar Express. Then we read The Grinch, and The Polar Express before Sofia gave in to exhaustion. She was very concerned that everyone should get to bed because the NORAD app showed Santa was as close as Michigan. Santa enjoyed some cream cheese mints, a rice crispy bar, and some milk before he moved on to the next deserving family.
Elving complete for one more year. Next year I’m sure we’ll need to up our game to keep the magic alive. I’m excited!
Sunset marks the start of the first day of Christmas.
Many preparations made. Many to go.
Here’s to plans going as expected, and to making Merry and Bright!
Leveraging Joy is a thought provoking post by my friend Paulio. It dovetails with thoughts I have been having about my own influence in the lives of people I am connected to.
My mom always used to sing “Over the River and Through the Woods” when we drove to her mother’s home in Wisconsin. Now it’s my turn as I drive my daughter to my mother’s home.
How Father Christmas Does It
Via Nicolas Bate He starts with a VERY BIG PLAN for the year. But-having studied Covey-he begins with the end in mind (H2). He builds a team about as diverse as you can get. He never loses sight of his clear and present mission despite the sacks of mail arriving on the hour, every hour. He knows age is just a number. He invests in the best, the very best, thermal underwear.
Hmm…
I’ve been recommending Parallels for about 10 years by now. Change is interesting.
