I appreciate:

• Already-prepared rotisserie chicken for dinner after a day full of errands!
• Finally getting the tree decorated tonight.
• That despite our troubles this year, we still get to do our annual holiday giving. This year we’re adding gift bags with fruit, granola bars, snacks, and treats along with money to give to people on street corners whom we might normally pass by. Though it may not be much, we enjoy preparing these tiny tokens of charity and hope that they have a good effect on people who receive them.
