Christmas Playlist...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Gals,
Okay, I need your help! My Christmas playlist is, well, it's pathetic! HELP! You can comment at the bottom of this post, on facebook, or any other method of commenting that I probably don't know about and tell me your ultimate Christmas playlist...let's do top 5 songs!

I have a borderline obsession with the Christmas season of music, carols, and jigs! So tell me your faves and I'll be putting the playlist together for the Robbins' house! Thanks for the help!

Be Awesome & Love Jesus,

Peppermint...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Gals,
Well, let the debate begin...peppermint or not so much peppermint? My friend Jennifer (K1 Asst. Women's Director. You can check her blog out by clicking HERE) LOVES, and I mean LOVES, peppermint. Me, not so much. In fact I don't like peppermints at all. So although this season is festive with them (oh, ya know what I wouldn't mind decorating with them...ya know like filling a jar with them or something for color...but that's about it) I turn my nose to the peppermint cookies, peppermint hot cocoa, and peppermint Andy's blizzards. No thank you!

What about you? Love it so much you would eat peanut butter and peppermint sandwiches or no, thank you even if it were the last breath stabilizer on the earth and you had just eaten a whole onion? Drastic question, yes...deep question that needs an answer, absolutely.

Be Awesome & Love Jesus,

Hope During This Season...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Gals,
This December season I again am brought back to the word HOPE. I blogged about it a while back too but during this season of shopping, wish lists, wants, and borderline greed I am reminded of the word HOPE.

As believers, we have a HOPE of a bigger picture to this oh-so-fun holiday. We know it's bigger than any package we could get. We know it's worth is more than all the money in the world. We know it's value is infinite and priceless. We have hope because during this season "a child is born." And this child is a "wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" to each one of us.

Remember today that your wish list and latest gadget is not important...at all as a matter of fact. You have hope in this season that so many don't. Live it, embrace it, and share it...HOPE!

Be Awesome & Love Jesus,

O Holy Night...

Hey K2 Kanakuk Gals,
Well, I have my Christmas carols going today! I love how radios and iTunes during this season is overflowing with the latest, most fresh Christmas songs but also the old school ones that everyone knows! I love that! Christmas carols and christmas tunes in general just put a little extra skip in my step! Oh, how I love it!

I was trying to think of the last time I went caroling. I must admit I am not real sure. I can vaguely remember being at an elderly home and caroling with high school friends...or maybe it was freshman year in college. Either way, it's been too long. So I am thinking (just thinking at this point because I might chicken out) of rallying some friends/neighbors and going to friends/neighbors houses and caroling. Oh, wouldn't it be so much fun!? Now if I only had like costumes with robes and fur hooded hoodies to make it all the better! Oh, and top hats too!

If you get a chance I think you should go caroling in your towns! Go to a nursing home or your neighborhood or just sing to your teacher one day! That would be awesome!

Be Awesome & Love Jesus,
