Ellen's personal update

December 15, 2001

Hello Friends and Family,

I can't believe we are only 15 days away from Christmas! I walked out my door

last night and it was nearly 60 degrees.... definitely not feeling like snow

here in Pa..... although I admit it's been great for doing the outside

decorating. Each year I add more and more lights to the outside... and I find

myself wanting to go out and start buying up those lighted sleighs and blow up

HUGH santa Claus's to add to the yard...I'll probably blow a fuse, cause I'm not

sure how much a 200 amp service can take...No Hair Dryers when the Christmas

lights are on..!

I still have sooooo much to do..... I buy gifts for the Grandmothers to give to

my kids.. cause they just can't manage anymore..... I bought our Christmas tree

yesterday and put it in the stand and dragged it in the house myself. It's

nearly 7 foot tall and cut off about a foot, they jsut didnt' have any nice

small trees and they were all the same price so.......It's touching my

ceiling.....!! No angel topper this year!

My intentions are to bake cookies today... dangerous task, since I have gained

some odd 10 lbs during these holidays already! Guess I'll be joining some

weight loss groups soon... LOL...

I love this time of year, even with the hectic feeling of trying to accomplish

everything..... I Haven't wrapped a present yet.. and I don't relish the thought

of doing it... more and more I am just buying red boxes and not wrapping.. LOL..

My son who is 8 yrs old is starting to tell everyone there is no Santa... My

heart breaks...its just too early in my eyes...He figured out that if ST. Nick

started this whole thing and he was dead, they your parents must be the onees

that do the Christmas gifts... I told him , did you ever think that someone took

over ST. Nick's job, kind of like in the Santa movie.......He says< yeah, I was

thinking that too!..... so maybe , I'll get one more year! then I'll have to

let him in on it, so he doesn't tell his younger sisters...

Well, If you got to the bottom of this letter, you are a brave soul and a good

friend.... I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season, May your New Year be

Bright, Healthy and Prosperous...(talk to me about the prosperous part..

hehehe).... and SMILE and reach out to someone who may be hurting this holiday

because of personal losses.

Sincerely,

Ellen

HAPPINESS, GOOD HEALTH AND WEALTH

ARE YOUR BIRTHRIGHT!
