Shopping Day

Hello everyone!

I loved the "For Better or For Worse" comic this week. A woman was bragging about how she had all her decorations up, cookies baked, cards mailed, shopping done, etc -- making the other woman feel awful. At the end of the strip she bursts out laughing and says, "Just kidding!" and they hug and cry.

So, for those of us who are NOT done (and honestly, will probably NEVER be done) M4M is hosting a "shopping day" this Wednesday. Drop your little ones off in the nursery and go finish your shopping/baking/decorating/whatever. Just don't forget to come back and get them by 11:15 AM at the very latest. For those of you who are not finished with your sewing project, Carol has offered to host a sewing session at the same time. So, if you want to finish your bag, bring your supplies and head downstairs for some expert help. Those of you who are hyper-organized or just burned out on the whole shopping experience, I'm sure there are other moms who would love to get together to chat over a cup of cocoa or coffee. No snacks or coffee are provided this week... so if you are hanging out downstairs to sew or chat, BYOS (bring your own snacks).

That's it for M4M for the holidays... We will begin meeting in January with a new schedule loaded with speakers, crafts, games, small group time and service projects. I can't wait! See you soon!
