After several hectic days, I can finally sit down at my computer and sigh because the busy holiday is over. I'm not complaining, it was a fabulous holiday, just busy as usual.
The boys got out of school early on the 22nd and we hurried to Salt Lake to the family holiday parties in a blizzard. The only time it snows lately is if we are headed out of town. After two nights of fun with the families, I took my youngest to do his Christmas shopping. Who knew it would be so fun to buy your Dad a Nurf gun tag game? The best part was the Sponge Bob Christmas wrapping paper he found to wrap his treasures in!
This season I took some young women to the care center in town to make some lovely ladies look even lovelier by fixing their hair. I also took along my book, "The Power Of A Penny," to give to some of the nice people there. I received lots of hugs and sincere, "thankyou's." One lady who had MS, was sooo.... excited to have the book. I can't describe the warm feeling I had when I left the care center knowing I had made someone else smile.
Speaking of making somone else smile, on Christmas Eve I was packing up the car at my Mom's house to head back home. I kept hearing a strange noise. I knew I had heard it before, but I couldn't quite picture what it was. Then a memory came to me of floating over Park City with my husband in a hot air balloon ride to celebrate an anniversary. Sure enough, I looked directly above me and there was the basket of a hot air balloon - maybe 30 feet up. And you will never guess who was in the basket waving. Santa and Mrs. Claus! This sight made me smile. There are still good people out there who want to spread Christmas cheer. Not to make money, but to just make someone else smile. I watched as the balloon quietly floated away over other neighborhoods so Santa could make someone else smile!
