I have never started listening to Christmas music in October before. Ever. And I’ve always judged other people who have. But for some reason I have needed a little Christmas, right this very minute! a little earlier than usual. Hey, don’t you jedge me!
When our church advertised their annual Christmas celebration, I went hog-wild. We are to decorate a wreath to display around the church for a Women’s event called Consider Christmas. The wreaths will remain hanging up in the church throughout the holiday season. I signed up to decorate two wreaths.
Now, I may be creative, but crafty I am not. For instance, I married into a glue gun. So I’m not sure where I thought I’d have the creativity or supplies to put together a wreath much less TWO!
So, for this week’s LAB, for any of you who are able to come, I will have a naked wreath desirous of decoration. I’ll bring my husband’s glue gun–maybe one of you knows how to work it? Any and all decorating ideas and supplies will be most welcome. Otherwise I will simply resort to stapling tacky ornaments at random and odd intervals around the wreath and submitting it under someone else’s name.
Here’s the church‘s promo on the Consider Christmas event:
Celebrate the season in a spectacular way Friday, November 30, 6 – 9:30 p.m. You will hear a speaker, Karen Ehman, and see a cuisine demonstration by Amway Grand Plaza Executive Chef, Josef Huber. Don’t wait until the last minute. You don’t want to miss this event!
This evening will offer you a way to enter into the Christmas season through more than trees and lights. Consider inviting your friends and neighbors to enjoy the fun of the season and a life changing message. You will enjoy multitudes of Christmas wreaths decorated by ABC women, hors d’oeuvres and Christmas music wrapped around an evening that includes a guest speaker and a four-star chef! What a great way to celebrate our Savior’s birth by showing another person about the hope they can have through Christ.
Am I allowed to make fun of your husband for having a glue gun? Cuz I really want to.
Anne, yes you can, but I am 100% positive he is going to deny it. But I am positive I would have never bought a teal glue gun for myself! So it must have been his, right?
can’t stop the laughing…
I asked Andy if he had ever used one and he said he had. “It’s like using a soldering gun. But with glue instead of metal.” Way to bring it into man-talk.
Oh good, I’ve soldered before. This should be no sweat. Poor Dan, I hope he never reads this post or comment thread…
