On this day, 1864 - During the American Civil War, Union Gen. William T. Sherman sent a message to U.S. President Lincoln from Georgia. The message read, "I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah."
How's that for a Christmas present?
What do you think you would get President Bush? I can't honestly say he would make my gift giving list this year or any. I'm having enough trouble determining what to get the teens in my house for the holiday that fits into the meager budget. I do have all the little ones shopped for, finished that yesterday with Papa Bear's help and let me say he is dangerous in a toy department. Now to wrap everything we have, so I am not swamped with wrapping Christmas Eve after work.
Let me say this it is cold outside, we got more snow Saturday night, and now it is bitter outside.
We are on holiday break from homeschooling and tonight is our last Scout event for the year too.
Happy Monday.

I love that The City of Savanna! :) Hope you have a Merry Christmas & Stay warm :D
On holiday here, too. Hope you are well. And, hey, did Zach ever get the bottles?
Merry Christmas!
I want to wish you and your family and wonderful Christmas!
Hmmm, I wonder how President Lincoln enjoyed his Christmas gift? Savannah is a very pretty city and I'm sure it was in 1864, too.
I still haven't done much shopping but I think that at this point, I give up. I have run out of ideas and money and energy!
I took my youngest to the mall today and had her eyes examined, which hasn't been done in way too long, and then ordered her a couple pair of new glasses from a terrific online site that has great prices and service. She couldn't be happier - especially when we stopped in at Hot Topic and got her a pair of rainbow socks and black fingerless gloves to top it off!
Now to get to wrapping the few things I have ... sigh ... do you think I could bribe Santa's elves to do it???
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas :)
Hey, Sassy Mama...I just wanted to stop by and wish you a very happy 2009! May this year be filled with peace, love, and happiness for you and yours.
