One of the things that I value about working for a faith based organization is the ability to openly embrace Christmas. Each year after Christmas the DHQ staff women shop the specials to add a few more items to the building’s collection of Christmas decorations. Over the decades a significant collection has been built. New items are put out, and some retired. This year the nutcracker type figures were purchased and put out this year across the break room window and the snow lights that hung in the windows retired.
Below are some of the decorations in the building.

Looks nice. The decorations at our center are taking shape too. It will look great by Monday.
I love decorating for Christmas. I can never get enough, especially when the decorations have meaning in some way - someone special or religious. It can all only get better if it snows.
We put up the decorations at the shelters this past week as well. What is really cool is to see the excitment with many of the clients as we prepare for Christmas. They ask when the Christmas services will be, as many truly cherish the "Christ" in Christmas. This amazes me every year, as for a good majority of those we serve in shelters, Christmas is extremely difficult. It's a testiment to God's grace and the resilience of men and women who have had a great deal of hurts in their lives.
well, decoration day this year was a little tedious. I just don't seem to have the energy to put into it this year.
According to wikipedia decoration day (also known as Memorial Day) is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May observed in 2008 on May 26.
Pictures are nice :)I too love decorating for Christmas a lot.
Today, we're examining the "effective age" numbers for this season's top NBA teams. Effective age is a metric used by ESPN Insider Kevin Pelton to measure a team's average age, but weighted by minutes played, rather than a straight average (which artificially inflates the average number for a team like New York, for example, if senior citizens like Marcus Camby (38) and Kurt Thomas (40) are given the same weight as heavy-minutes players such as Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith and Ray Felton (all under 30)).
