Christmas 2010

Chistmas week at the Blass home was a whirl of celebrations and family -- these are just a few of those who were welcomed there....we always look forward to my brother and his family visiting this time of year, and this year my sister and Mom were able to join us too.

Laura made the house look so cozy and Christmas-y.

What a blessing that Michael could be home for Anna's birthday and the holidays. This album has some photos of Anna's 4th birthday, a visit from Santa, Christmas morning, and a family get-together with my Mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law and family from NJ .

A Child's Wisdom

During this Christmas season it is good to stop, take a deep breath, and focus on the Reason that we Christians celebrate this day. This audio will simply yet profoundly take you to the heart of the season, in the words of a child. Click, listen, and quiet your heart:

Wish List

Okay, this is the situation....the Miles/Blass clan here in Maplecrest, Korea and Iraq agreed to do a secret gift exchange for Christmas this year. Great idea, don't you think??? So we exchanged names and, with Christmas a mere 3 weeks away, I (as manager of the gifts) felt it was time to get together a wish list that each participating individual could submit to me (manager of the gifts) so that I (manager of the gifts) in turn could pass suggestions on to those gifters who needed help in choosing a gift for their giftee. Well, we now have a dilemma. One of our members, we won't say who, wants a plane ticket home. That is the ONLY ITEM ON HIS (or her) LIST!!!

The gifter for this particular giftee is puzzled, astonished, and amazed....What do we do now????? Any suggestions from our friends, family, contacts??? (Gifters and giftees may also comment.)

We are inexperienced in this ritual of the secret gift exchange. Is there a procedure to follow?

Thank you for your HELP!

love, mom (I feel better now)
