...to all our blog readers!!! Santa and "Twiglet" the Little Christmas Tree wish you the best holiday ever! Remember that there is more to Christmas that receiving gifts...giving of yourself to make life better to those around you is pretty special. We have a Christmas challenge ~ On Christmas day...wash the Christmas dishes for the cook! Or...round up all the wrapping paper, boxes, and bows and take it to the trash can outside! Or...give everyone around the Christmas tree a hug and tell them that they are special to you! We would love to hear what you did. (You have one week to decide what you will do!)
