This man told Rose that her rounds of "Jingle Bell Rock" in Wal-Mart were prematurely conceived, exclaiming that Christmas is yet MONTHS away. A couple of thoughts for the gentleman:
1. Christmas is next month.
2. As a teacher, Christmas is a sacred time. Because compensation is low and the tasks overwhelming, there are a few non-monetary benefits; not the least of these is the 3 week sanctum called "Christmas Break".
Some things I'm looking forward to:
1. Setting the projector up in Adrienne's living room and playing Mario Cart with the kids on a 10 foot screen.
2. Homemade Peppermint Mochas
3. An awesome gift idea for my beautiful wife: Kyra.
4. Setting up a toy train set around our fake (and very reasonably priced) Christmas tree.
5. Refuting consumerism in my life and embracing quiet reflection and thankfulness for the mercy of Jesus.
These and more make make Christmas sacred.
