I want to just say something about Yesterday's Theme... Jingle Bells. I love the sound of bells. Church bells, jingle bells, the bells that the Salvation Army collectors use at their red buckets. I love them. My favorite part of The Polar Express is the part where Santa gives the boy the bells off the reindeer's harnesses. Then, he loses it and then on Christmas morning it's on the tree. Gosh, I love it. It only rings when you believe. See-- I like it not just because I like shiny things, but also because I like the message it teaches us. To believe. Even if it specifically shows in the movie to Believe in Santa. What is so wrong with that? Santa was derived from Saint Nicholas. The Saint who was giving and selfless. I believe in Saint Nicholas. I believe in the beauty of his kindness; I believe that while we are so thankful for what we have, we also need to be selfless and give to others in need.
Soooo today's theme is Playing in the Snow. And I am a little bummed. My plan was to go play in the snow with my roommates and then post pictures and talk about it... buuut the snow storm hasn't hit yet. So.. instead I'm giving you pictures of our trip to Bentleyville last night. And by pictures, I mean 2.
Always,
H.Eilene
