You may see the title and run because it is almost three months until Christmas. Stores here love Christmas and already have their Christmas decorations out. We went into a store at the mall on Saturday that was fully decorated and playing Christmas music. Ironically they had signs that said "Let it snow." Costa Rican's would think they were in a very bad place if it ever actually snowed here. They talk about how it is so, so cold when it is 50 degrees outside and are so bundled up.
We've been trying to think of what the perfect gift for Haley is. We cannot afford to buy her very much, but we want to give her something. Sometimes I am so sad that I cannot give her the whole world and every cute toy that I think she would like. Haley will not grow up having tons of stuff. Fortuneately, she will grow up knowing what it is like to serve Jesus and have a much broader view of life than other kids. So at times materialism creeps up on me when there is so much that I want to buy for Haley, I must remember that she in the end will be much better off.
