Last night was Family Home Evening. We didn't have any real plans, other than to read more of A Christmas Carol. Oh yeah, and we sang the first verse of "Joy to the World" which went well until we got to the chorus, and then we each had our own version, LOL. Anyway, it was my turn to read, so I read Stave 2 -- All about Scrooge's experiences with the Ghost of Christmas Past. What a fun read. It took 45 minutes, but it went by really fast -- especially for me. I love the book and I love to read aloud. However, I can't fake a good English accent, so I didn't even try. Scott can do it, which is so cool. But what I lack in authentic-sounding accents, I think I make up for in my own ways. Then Scott got a brilliant idea that we could all wrap presents. Yeah!!! ;) So I popped in It's A Wonderful Life, and we all fought over the scotch tape and wrapped presents while we watched the movie. We're almost done with the wrapping, now! Scott had already boxed and sealed all the presents at work, since he works in a warehouse and boxes and ships telecommunications stuff. So, brilliant man that he is -- we bought almost exclusively online this year, and he had the gifts shipped to his office.
It was a fairly successful F.H.E. All we have to do is try to have some official family time. Thank goodness it doesn't have to be perfect, because we would never do it. It seems like the more we try to plan every detail, the worse it goes, LOL.
Oh, and did I mention that I think George W. Bush is a Great President, not a Miserable Failure?
