Hello!
Despite my recent and profound
absence from the interwebs, I am pleased to announce we are still alive! Things are a bit crazy around here but I’m
beginning to think this is the permanent state of our lives. With today
(December 21st) being the shortest day of the year and a mere
four-ish (really more like three-ish) days till Christmas, I feel like there
are a million loose ends to tie up.
Every time I knock something off my to-do list – some by completion and
others by abandonment – it feels like I add two more things.
Christmas chaos is sorta eating
my lunch, so to speak. And, for the
record, I’m not entirely sure how we even ended up in December anyway. Doesn’t it just feel like we just celebrated
the 4th of July???? Anyway,
my to-do list is chock full of things such as buy more tape and at least try to hide the presents. Maybe you’re here too? [Insert some really hopeful, light at the end
of the tunnel, beautiful sentiment, profound insight here…] Yeah, I got nothing. Well, not nothing, but I’ve certainly got no
novel or super-duper reflective words for you –and if you’re uncertain, my use
of “super-duper” should clear that up for you...I’ve not got much.
But.
I do have something kinda
humorous. And, if you’re like me,
scrambling to find those last minute gifts for the random, yet important folks
in your life, then this post’s for you.
We don’t have too many odd-ball-out gifts we have to buy; just a
handful. But I wanted whatever we got to
have a personal touch without being overly intricate. So, my solution?
Sonic Gift Cards
Packaged with a witty saying that I can’t take any credit for (thanks Pinterest!) – although, in terms of intellectual property, what I found on Pinterest was a parent giving actual bottles of wine, so, there’s the added bonus of increased ingenuity on my part – Sonic, you can thank me later.
Finally,
there was a touch of personal investment. I mean, I used scissors and got a bit crafty –
I feel like that should count for something!
These are just for Sawyer’s
gymnastics coaches. It’s nothing extravagant
(clearly…because extravagant gifts aren’t often served with tots or fries) but
it is something simple to let them know we appreciate them. You all probably have way more crafty,
thoughtful, and sweet gift ideas. This
is just a fun one that you can put together easily.
In all seriousness, I do
sincerely hope your Christmas is sweetly blessed by the remembrance of Christ’s
birth, the reason that He came, and the sacrifice of what this season
cost.
From the Fullness of His Grace,
Lacey
