The Simple Things

I made a Christmas list and hung it on the fridge for whoever might pass by and wonder what images I have flashing through my mind this season. It contains things like a bike trainer, new bike tires, snow shoes, a Garmin. But the thing is...not a single one is at all important to me (well...maybe the bike tires) and I could really never get any of those things and not give them a thought ever again. I'm easy that way...but I figured in case we won the lottery and Steve wanted to buy me something, I should supply him with some ideas :-)

However, this week The Elves left Mama something besides chocolate in her stocking ~ a pair of colorful fingerless gloves from the $1 aisle at Target. That's really all it takes to make me happy.

So I'm simply satisfied. No more gifts needed. A little colorful fun for my hands and the rest is unnecessary...although I would love a card...with a handwritten note...containing the word Christ...and Love.

Merry Christmas!
