Thankful Thursday...

It's been a while since last I took part in a "Thankful Thursday" post, sorry.

• this stomach bug of mine came, left, came again, and is finally GONE....I shall return to the land of the working tomorrow!
• Speaking of tomorrow....it will be the last day before Christmas Break!
• Speaking of "Christmas Break"....I am thankful for being able to say Merry Christmas instead of Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays, or anything else that's Politically Correct and in-use at the department strores these days.
• Speaking of department stores....I am thankful for their extended holiday hours!!
• a team of sweet friends that love teaching 5th graders as much as I do
• warm 70* weather this week, yummy!! I hope my mistletoe doesn't wilt.
• CHRISTMAS CARDS!! I just love them. I enjoy going to the mailbox to see new ones arrive each day. I love the faces of the families and friends that smile back at me on the photos enclosed. My kitchen windows frame each and every one of them. So if you haven't sent yours....there's still time!!
