Christmas Time 09

Well - it's 2010 - hard to believe. I have been thinking about blogging more and have decided it will be one of my many resolutions this year:) I usually don't like to blog because I don't think I am that great of a writer but i am over that now....so bear with me. I was driving this afternoon to my school. If you don't know me you need to realize that I work at an urban school with high school students who have pretty much nothing. I was thinking how excited I am to see them on Monday - I know crazy since they drive me crazy but after 3 years those kids are my kids. Anyways I was thinking of how blessed I was this year for Christmas. I have an amazing husband and 2 wonderful families. We got to see both this year and it was wonderful. I could care less about gifts but I love seeing my families:) It got me thinking though how one of my students said Mrs. Watson I hate Christmas because I don't get anything at all. This killed me because I hate that she thinks of Christmas that way and that she is right - she won't get anything. My goal though as I have been renewed this vacation is to show my students that they don't need the material things.....it's about things more important than that. So if you are reading this I hope you had an amazing Christmas but that you also are reminded of the true reason for the season.....:)
