Chritmas Party - December 2010

Well who can believe that its the time of year where we start exchanging gifts, and making cookies, and taking Christmas card pictures....whew...how did the year fly by so fast?

Our meeting this month was a time to celebrate, have fun, but also give back.  We took the opportunity to make cards for the military.  The cards we made will go to the families of military personnel and they will be able to write their own messages inside and then mail them to family.  We provided the cards, the envelopes, even the stamps, and in the process I think we all remembered what we already knew, but often times forget - the holiday season is about more than the craziness of the commercialized holiday.  It was nice to know that we were helping families with loved ones in the military, giving them a small little piece of their family.

In addition to taking time to make the cards, we also enjoyed some great food, music and gift exchanges.  There are lots of pictures from the night over on our facebook page - please feel free to check it out!

We hope to see you at the next meeting on January 19th; when the topic is Decorating on a Budget!  We are going to have a panel of experts who will give you some tips and ideas of things you can do at home on your own that won't break the bank!

Have a Blessed Holiday Season!!

We will see you in the New Year!!
