Twelve Days Of Christmas, Day 1

Twelve Days Of Christmas, Day 1

OTA Tay 7 AGN)

When the snow lays a blanket of white on the ground
And bright lights festoon every house in the town
When small smiling angels on the top of each tree

Cast a spell on us all, and we finally see
That this is much more than some gift giving fog
It's more than the turkey and pudding and nog,

More than old movies we see once a year,

More than the carols that ring in our ears
More than the frenzied non-stop shopping spree
But a time of pure magic ... if you want it to be

A time when we count all our blessings and friends
And find they are one and the same in the end

So to all of our dear friends, far flung as they are
May your Christmas be bright as a bright shining star
May the joy of the season be a constant delight
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

Jim & Heather Murray

Do Not Smile until Christmas

As the stories flowed over lunch, about how we learned our craft, I thought about when I was a student teacher, in Port Coquitlam, working with a Preston. Preston became a good friend and was a wonderful Mentor to me. As a new teacher, I was sure of myself, I knew my material, I ...
