It is official the Christmas season is here because the “red cups” have arrived.  Every year I long for the arrival of the red cups from Starbucks with their witty seasonal sayings. I know some of you may think I am out of my mind, but I love Christmas and my very favorite part of it is giving gifts or is it decorating or maybe baking?

This year I get double the pleasure of decorating. I have been the overseer of decorating at my house for 13 years and this year I have the honor of doing it at the Kid’s ROCK wing. As I sat in my office on Wednesday, I was planning the decorating. Everything for the classrooms was coming together great. I had been gathering ideas from things I had seen at places like the pediatric dentist office, but then there is the issue of the hallway. How do you decorate a very long hallway that becomes full of children has a motion detector, block walls and the list goes on?

Carolyn suggested fiberoptics. I was willing if she would pay for it. So we are not having fiberoptics down our big huge hallway. However, there will be decorations formed at the hands of volunteers. I can’t wait to see how beautiful it will be.  I want to be there when the first childs eyes come in contact with the decorations. When they say, “How’d ya do that?” I want to tell them. “God helped us. He gave us the idea and He helped us figure it all out.”
