It is time to make sure all the bases are covered. All the presents are wrapped. All the cookies are baked. All the scrap books pages are ready.....so don't forget to buy film.

One Christmas we decked all the halls, Placed all the presents. Set up the camera. Took a bite of Santa's cookies and drank all his milk. Scurried off to bed just in time to wake up and find out with sleepy eyes....WE HAD FORGOTTEN TO BUY FILM.

So all of those memories of our hard Christmas work
was left to our own little reflective hearts. No pictures. That was the Christmas without pictures.
The scrap book pages were filled with notes on what each of the kids got for Christmas. But no pictures were present.

I vowed to never let that happen to us again. It really did bum most of us out that we didn't capture the memories on tape or film. It was just not like us to do that. So for the next few weeks everyone reminded me that we needed film at home.

That is usually something we never run out of. We have several cameras and now a digital one to boot.
You never know when one of the kids or grand kids will make a face or do something that you just want to remember forever.

I do not share many family pictures on here because I just do not know how to resize them. Maybe that will be my family project this year to learn how to use the resizing program and copy some of our pictures to show off some family pride.

I thought just as I would be reminding myself to buy film ....I might as well remind all the other busy moms and dads out there also.

Let's not let any good memories slip past us without a token of the moment to recall our Holiday Cheer.
