wed.

When me and my sisters, one a year younger, one a year older than me were younger......probably in junior  high and high school, we'd want to help mom get things ready for Christmas. Mom would be out for the day shopping, running errands, and doing all those things away from home that moms do in preparation for the holidays.. Sisters and I would put on Elvis's Christmas album and then spend our day cleaning and putting up the Christmas tree. We'd play that album over and over again. It was part of our motivation, that and wanting to surprise mom. We couldn't wait for her to get home so that we could see the look on her face.
She was always grateful, and probably relieved to have a few less things to do.
I'm having a tough time getting things pulled together this year for the holidays.
Not sure why..............
So I've pulled out the old Elvis Christmas album.
Hopefully it will help me along........
