52 Blessings: Week 1 Christmas Decorations


So in the effort to stick with my new plan to at least post once a week with a blessing as a part of the "52 Blessings" idea from Photojojo, I have my first post ready. Unfortunately my photo isn't really worthy of showing to people who love photography...not very artsy anyway. Still, it works for this.

Week #1-Christmas Decorations...at work
I work for a company where Christmas is present every day of the year, thanks to publishing 2 large Christmas craft books. It takes A. Very. Long. Time. to do this. Even when it's melting hot outside, there's Christmas something hanging around here. But I think it goes deeper than that too. I'm lucky to work for a place that will put up a beautiful nativity set in the lobby. All visitors will see that nativity. And I see it every time I ride on the elevator (and that's a lot because the Diet Coke is on the first floor but I live on the second floor...and I'm lazy so I ride).

I like that it's still "Merry Christmas" around here. Santa and his reindeer and "Happy Holidays" are here too, but Jesus and the manger haven't been hidden away.
