Holiday spirit

Well the holidays are steadily approaching and because of  insanity at my sister's work, we went ahead and celebrated for the most part early.  Every year it is the same thing, she has to work, and I keep on hearing the excuses over and over that because other people are married and have kids that they need the time off to celebrate with their kids, well what about my sister's family?  Do we not count for anything?  Nope, obviously being single gets you no where.  I told her to tell them that since they are using that excuse then because she is single that she should get New Years Eve off to get her groove on.  Hey, at least it got a laugh from her.  At least the princess is young enough it doesn't really matter to her when we do anything on it.  She is currently sitting in the floor happily playing with her presents, talking to herself.  The biggest surprise is that Santa Claus hasnt come yet,  She will be beside herself when he does deliver.  She is so excited that she got the silly hair lalaloopsy doll right now though.   BOY was that ever a bear to get!!!  Sometimes I think her wanting what all the other kids want for Christmas can be so dangerous sometimes.  I did get really lucky and did all my shopping online this year, minus a couple of things I had my sister pick up in the stores while she was out.  I have been joking that it looks like I am having an affair with the UPS man.  He was coming to the house everyday he delivered bringing out all this stuff.  Matter of fact he was just here a few minutes ago delivering a couple of bags I ordered a couple of weeks ago.  I totally love our delivery man.  He is beyond kind and thoughtful.  A couple of weeks ago, everyone in the house was super sick with this nasty virus going around. Of course, it would be the day a HUGE group of boxes came in.  We seriously had 8 boxes!!  There was no way any of the adults could have carried them in, and I didnt want him exposed, so I had the princess open the door and have him set them down and she could carry them one at a time since they were all small.  He carried them all the way into the house and set them down in the utility room for her, I let him know I didnt want to expose him to the funk, and he just smiled and said it was no problem and he could bring them further if needed.  He has always been that nice.  I do know of a time when my mom was the only one home and the box that came was super heavy.  Since they took off the  toe off Mom's foot, her walk can be unsteady at times.  This driver, carried it all the way into the house and set it down out of the way for mom so she didnt have to.  This guy really goes the extra mile, and it definately is appreciated.  When we made our candy trays this year, we made sure to remember him.  With all the videos out there this past week of drivers doing so much wrong, I knew I had to tell about a driver who does good.
