Lately, it’s been hard to get into the Christmas spirit.  Lots of stuff happening all at once with work, home, and the kids, kinda makes it hard to feel, well, Christmas-y.  Since it was snowing outside, I went down to the shop to make some ornaments for the next woodturning club’s next monthly challenge.  I started with the two smaller ones, thinking that would be enough to meet the minimum level of requirement for the challenge.  Then, I made the other two tall ones.  When my daughter saw those, she said, “Aw!  You should make a little one”.  Ok, so I made the little boy snowman.  Now, she’s saying she wants a snow dog, maybe a snow octopus, perhaps a snow bunny, and like a whole family of snow people.  I just smiled, knowing I have no intention of making any of those.  Still, making ornaments for the kids who’s started their own families, dated, with their names on them might be kinda cool.  I wonder how small I can make a snow baby ornament for my grand-daughter…
