December was such a busy month. Instead of focusing our energy on shopping or making gifts we took advantage of all the great free stuff available. We took and taught classes with the Trumansburg home schoolers, enjoyed two Christmas concerts (one was a Jingle Bells/ Santas coming type and the other was all about praise), we toured the Mormon church in MacDougall, we joined a "Jam Session" at the Baha'i Center in Rochester, Elanee tried out for a play, etc etc. Above- we spent 4 hrs ringing the Salvation Army bell over a couple of sessions. The first time it was FREEZING!!!!! but there was lots of enthusiastic singing in front of Big Lots. The second time was much less enthusiastic but we had a nice time in front of Peebles.
On Christmas day we did breakfast, as is our tradition, opened some presents, drove to Ithaca and helped to serve and clean up at the Salvation Armys soup kitchen. It was high paced and fun. Then we came home to a half turkey in the roaster and chilled with rented movies.
Made for a great day.
