Christmas Gifts Made With Love

Tue, 23rd December, 2008 - Posted by Marenda Taylor - (15) Comment


When it comes to Christmas gifts many people prefer something store bought over something home made. Would you rather have that hot IPOD you’ve been eye balling all year or a sweater your sister spent months knitting?

Personally, I believe its the thought that counts. Nobody owes you anything. If someone uses their own resources to present you with a gift…no matter what the gift is…shouldn’t you appreciate the fact that they even thought of you?

A home made gift means the person took TIME to actually CREATE something with THEIR OWN HANDS especially for YOU.

My Letter to Santa 2008 Christmas List

Wed, 3rd December, 2008 - Posted by Marenda Taylor - (52) Comment


It’s that time of year again, the holiday season is upon us. I wrote a letter to Santa last year. I’m glad I did. Santa didn’t bring everything on the list, but I did get #3 and #4 from last year’s list.ยป

Once again I’m posting my list here because I know how much Santa enjoys reading my blog, so its impossible for this to go unnoticed.

My Letter to Santa 2007 Christmas List

Mon, 12th November, 2007 - Posted by Marenda - (15) Comment


It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Christmas list that was actually of things that I want not things that I want to buy for other people. This year I’m going all out. I figure Santa has gotten high tech so to make sure he gets my wish list I thought I’d post it here in the form of a letter. I’m certain he reads my blogs daily so there is no possible way for this to slip by him.

I haven’t asked for anything since 1992. Its been 15 years that should count for something right? (smile). I tried emailing you but it kept bouncing back. I was wondering if you save letters and Christmas lists for future use? Every year I seem to get something that I asked for years before.

I thought it best I tell you to please hold off on the pony until further notice. I figured using the Internet would expedite the process and perhaps ensure that my 2007 list is actually processed in 2007.

Anyhoo, I know you’re really busy especially with all the toy recalls… I heard due to hard times you had to lay off most of your elves and do some outsourcing to China for toys. I’m sure the whole lead issue has thrown a monkey wrench in your plans.
