Holiday Randomness

I subscribe to this magazine called "LDS Living" and the new one just came in the mail last week. I LOVE LOVE this magazine. It has really great ideas and great information. The current one has a lot of holiday stuff in it (well, Duh!) and I thought I'd share some if it with you.

There are several towns with 'Christmas' type names.
-north pole, alaska
-santa claus, indiana
-santa claus, georgia
-noel, missouri
-roudolph, wisconsin
-dasher, georgia
-snowflake, arizona (now there's an oxymoron)
-holly springs, mississippi
-mt.holly, north carolina

In a book titled "The Merry Book of Christmas" the author, Larry Wilde, says "Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of your children, they are all 30ft tall."
