Christmastime Thoughtfulness: Puppy Dog Tails & Snorkeling

Davis continues to work hard to stay on Santa's Nice List. As everyone knows, Santa's elves are not only responsible for making toys, they sometimes collect first-hand information to determine Naughty or Nice. Davis reports that he has heard of an actual elf being spotted inside his classroom. At home or at school, these next few weeks are critical to avoid a lump of coal under the Christmas tree. Extra chores around the house? -no problem, Davis is up to the task. He even understands that helping-out with a positive attitude is important. An extra smile has been known to make the difference between a HotWheels car and a Kingsford charcoal briquette. Davis often smiles at the thought of being able to help-out with anything. He will be 7 years old soon, and already, more is expected of him. Bigger jobs that require muscles, as well as an increase in the number of easy jobs. Simple jobs often require extra attention, however. For example, opening the door for Shiloh to go potty: "You should always wait for her tail to go past before closing the door" -very good advice, Davis. "Always ask an adult before flooding something for snorkeling." Again, it's this level of thoughtfulness that should keep Davis off Santa's Naughty List.

An extra smile for the Nice List!
Or, is this the next face of Kingsford Charcoal?

欢乐中国的明天!

How about having Chinese food tomorrow?      Great! December 13th is Chinese Tomorrow! What is Chinese Tomorrow? When families get together for Chinese food and celebrate everything that is 'put-off' until tomorrow.   Here are a few rules: Everyone wears black (the actual day 'tomorrow' is dark & never sees a sunrise) Celebrate things that are put-off until tomorrow (find joy in those normally unpleasant procrastinations) Choose just one person to open a single fortune cookie (everyone else must wait until tomorrow ) Blog about it (post the fortune's lucky numbers as the title) Enjoy the great food! (Chinese food buffets are the best!)  欢乐中国的明天!

Happy New Year!
