So, it is the eve of the year 2012.  What will this year hold for the world?  Will we come to an end as Nostradamus and the Mayans predicted?  Or will the earth continue to spin in space, third rock from our sun?

I don’t know if I really believe in the 2012 theory.  If we are coming to an end this year, we had all better get our affairs in order and make things right with whatever God we answer to.

But can anyone really predict when our world will end?  The bible says that no man shall know the day and the time, only God himself knows.  Even the son of God does not know.

Something to ponder in the year to come.

I got a great surprise this afternoon.  As I was leaving the office for the holiday weekend, my boss handed me an envelope.  I did not open it until I got to my car; expecting $50 or maybe even $100.  As I opened the envelope, I almost fell over with surprise!!

He had given me a $500 bonus for Christmas!!  I was not even expecting a bonus, since I have only worked for him for a year.  But man, this was a great Christmas gift.  I have been needing a new television set in my living room for about 1 1/2 years now, mine went out, and I could not afford to fix it or buy a new one.  So, this is buying me a new television set!!!  They have some great sales going on right now.  Thank you Mr. Elliott for the wonderful gift.

Well, another Christmas is here.  I am sorry to say, it is going to be a lean one again this year.  The things that people want are getting so expensive!!  Ipod, Ipads, Kindles, anything electronic are hot items.

I am just thankful that I and my family and friends are all safe here at home.  I know several people who have relatives who are serving overseas, fighting the war, and think of them and how they will miss those away from home over the holiday.

My Christmas wish is for the wars to end and for everyone to come home.  I know that world peace is never going to be a possibility.  I don’t understand why people can’t just live and let live.  It is a question that will never be answered.

So, we celebrate the birth of Christ once more.  I hope everyone has a joyous and safe Christmas.

I have always wanted to go to Disney World.  I have been to Disney Land, but they say that it cannot compare to the park in Florida.  I am really more interested in seeing Universal Orlando.  I love roller coasters and have not been on one in years.   I would probably throw up…I hope not though.  I know several people who have been to Disney and they have all loved it.

But, I look at the price you pay to go, the park tickets, the hotel, the airline tickets, and know that I will never make it there.  I can only dream…

Hey, maybe I can win a trip, like my trip to Oregon to search for Sasquatch!!!
