We Jingled All Around the Windjammer. Why? Because Santa Claus is coming to Town

Preamble:

16 days until Christmas so let’s make sure that we are all in the Christmas Spirit. The weather is balmy, the Christmas playlist is set, a 10Pax showed up with bells on so LET’S FRIGGIN GO!

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to the lake to get warm with some SSH, Windmills, Weedpickers, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles & Covids. Mosey back to the Jeep to get Jolly…but don’t forget that lump of coal aka coupon.

The Thang:

Since we have all been good boys this year and all love Christmas Jammies, DJ Papa Elf prepared a sweet 12-song Christmas playlist for just this occasion:

COT:

This truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Despite the busy-ness, I encourage you to slow down, reflect, choose joy, give thanks, remember the real reason, and be merry!

Thanks to all for a HUGE response in donations for Santa Ruck…let’s make it a great event tomorrow at Hembree Springs Elementary at 7:30.

TNT – Mayflower recommended Starbucks Founder Howard Schultz’s podcast and a reminder to “stay in the mud” as managers & business leaders.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

“God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, let nothing you dismay. Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day.”

“Christmas is the day that holds all time together.”

“Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.”

“Christmas gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect on the important things around us.”
