24 days until Christmas! Would you believe it? I can’t. Seems like yesterday it was New Year’s Eve 1999 and we were all waiting for the lights to go off! Ha! We knew they wouldn’t. But it was kind of fun to yak about while the computer geeks all rushed to change year fields from 2 digits to 4.

As I put up the Christmas tree, I remember family traditions. Each ornament has a special meaning. The ones my mother embroidered and made of plastic canvas are especially dear to me. And to hand the stockings! I love to hand the stockings decorated with cross stitch. I can’t wait to let my grand-daughter pick out a pattern for her first Christmas stocking. I can teach her to cross stitch, and she will have a lot of time to work on it during the cold days in January and February when she can’t go outside to play.

Traditions – and handing down what we know. Isn’t that what life is all about?

I really appreciated one blogger who said (in my words) I really identify with those just starting to blog – wondering what to write on the first entry in a blog that will be buried before anyone knows the my blog is there. This is my third entry, and I really don’t know what to talk about. I am developing an online company – my thoughts are filled with what to sell and how to sell it. Then I am blogging and have to come up with more ideas. So any ideas? What would you sell on the internet? And don’t tell me to find a niche – just suggest a niche. Everyone talks about niche’s and how to find them, but no one has any idea of what area to start in. Oh well, I guess I have about 6 ideas now. Maybe I should just do one in each. Frustrated today – does it show?
