DAY 9....'SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER'

 9....'SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER '

  Day 9....Donate to a food pantry

      FOR YOU 
Day 9....Just veg out for the afternoon and watch the 
ARMY/NAVY Football game (Go Army)

This time of year can be hard time for many.  Food pantries and food banks get more requests during December.  The holidays take a toll on the stock they have.  Donate a gift card to a local grocery store, a monetary gift or any non-perishable foods. Gift cards and monetary donations help the food bank/food pantry purchase perishable foods for those in need.  Your help can make it a wonderful holiday for someone and their family. 

For yourself you need to relax after perhaps a busy week.  Sit back in your favorite spot at home, have a favorite beverage and watch the ARMY/NAVY football 🏈 game.  It's been a tradition with my husband and myself every year.  We take that afternoon for just us to veg out and cheer on our military teams.  As a Navy veteran, my husband cheers for Navy; as an Army veteran, I cheer for Army. 

Day Eight brought a smile to our mail carrier. As he stopped to pick up mail I had put out, I handed him a Christmas card with little appreciation token inside. 

I opened my Kindle to read "A Christmas Carol".  I have read it before. I do enjoy this story. Many times I have watched the 1938 version of the movie (my favorite version).  As I read, the images of the actors from the movie took on the faces of the characters in the book. There have been many books written on the same idea of this Dickens story which I have read.  Also many many movie version take offs of the story I watched more than once. 

Until tomorrow, enjoy the Army/Navy game.
