Guest Blog: The Forgotten Carols by the Dog Walker

One of the most fun events has come to us and it's one of Dad's favorites. That's right. Mom, Baby Doll, Scout, Curly, his girlfriend, and I went to see the Forgotten Carols at Weber State University in Ogden. I almost didn't get to go, because I was almost scheduled to work that day. I might have mentioned it before, but even after working at Walmart for almost a decade, it's not always easy to get a day-off request approved in December, just because associates are needed to help out at the store before the 25th. But I managed to talk with my boss just to switch a day with my day off so I didn't have to miss out on the event.

Anyway, about the event. It was really fun to see. We even stayed right after the show to see Michael McLean's finale gig. Mom, Curly, and the girls thought I was crazy for using these Christmas light glasses as part of the audience using their phone flashlights to go along with the gig, but I thought it was fun.

Curly's girlfriend had never seen the Forgotten Carols before, but she really liked it. We bought an ornament from the merchandise table afterward to remember it by. This was totally an event that we won't forget. We sure missed having Dad with us, but we got to sing to him in the finale.

It's Almost Christmas

Today after church, I shut myself in my bedroom and wrapped and wrapped and wrapped...

I always try to do this early so I can see where I need to buy a few more things and where I need to hold something back for a birthday.

Since I sat on the floor through 7 Hallmark movies, my back is aching as well as a few other parts, but I do love Christmas! It is so fun to imagine my kids and grandkids as they rip and tear and smile.

This is such an amazing time of year! People are happy and generous, more loving and kind...everything Jesus wants us to be.

Merry Christmas!
