This American Life

I love Christmas time! This week I worked to get myself into the Christmas Spirit.
First, I got out our Christmas decorations, and I got to work putting them out. It didn't take very long--we don't have much in the way of Christmas stuff. But we have enough to make the living room feel festive.
I also did some Christmas crafts--candycane reindeer, tri-bead ornaments, and paper bag angels. Good stuff.
And while I made a bunch of Christmas cards awhile back, this week I started doing something with those cards.
Also, I listened to a lot of Christmas music.

Next topic: Saturday habits...
Recently on Saturday mornings as I run errands, I listen to Public Radio. Car Talk; Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, and so on. Today I listened as I made baked goods for the ward Christmas Party tonight. I found today's This American Life program especially interesting. I was especially touched by the last Act about a musical made and performed by teenagers in a juvenile detention center. You can listen to it on the link above. It starts at about 52:40 into the program and goes to 57:00. I'd definitely recommend it.
