I have no energy. I wish there were no holidays. All the advice I read is about how to accomplish your shopping or entertaining.

My little nephew especially loves the book as there are lots of big men and boys in the pictures. That song has such a good "moral of the story" it is a shame more people don't know the words. <br />http://www.amazon.com/Good-King-Wenceslas-John-Neale/dp/0802852092/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1324389207&sr=1-1Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854792843189067866noreply@blogger.com
