THANKSGIVING SENT TO MISSIONARIES


i love having MISSIONARIES.
i love sending care packages,
especially for the holidays.
it bothers me when i forget.
it bothers me when i remember
 i forgot !

and so the zombie witch
sent an “AIRHEAD”  treat in 
with the “THANKFUL ME” mailer


i put a TURKEY sticker on jerky
and called it the
 THANKSGIVING BIRD
i put a CARMEL POPCORN treat
in the shape of corn on the COB
and called it the  “VEGETABLE
i put a felt PUMPKIN sticker on a sucker
and called it “PUMPKIN DESSERT
i put a PLACE CARD
where a list of “THANKFULS
could be written and called it “BLESSED
and a “HAPPY THANKFUL” card
with my heartfelt wishes
finally,
a DISNEY CHRISTMAS 
ADVENT
CALENDAR
celebrating their love for
disneyland, christmas, and the magic kingdom(s)

i placed the packages on the counter
i wrote the contents and cost of the package
at about $7.00
“I forgot the jesus stickers”
it was confirmed 
jesus stickers are the protocol
i thought, i’ll run next door to smiths
with all the christmas decorations
cards, tags, wrapping paper,
surely
there would be something.

i could not find anything jesus.
i went up and down aisles
i checked the religious secton
how can this be
the reason for the season
and he is no where to be found

no nativity that i could see
and that is another post


jenn is in honduras
i had been informed by my sis
that if you put jesus stickers over
the seal,
the package will be left alone
i was amazed
that a jesus sticker would protect
the contents of the package
and yet i am not.
jesus is my protector
and when i have him
sealed in my heart
and stuck on my countenance,
i too feel that
added measure of protection.
(dialogue)

“and what is the total?”
“do you want it to arrive in time for
THANKSGIVING?”
“that would be nice...”
“okay we can do that for one seventy three.”
“it is only $1.73?”
“no. $173”
“i think not given that the contents are under $10.00
and i do not have jesus stickers to assure 
my package will even make it into jenn's hands...”

he smiled.
i smiled.

i must be more efficient with the
christmas packages.

DEAR ELDER...P.S.S.S.


truthfully,
i have written a great many letters in my life,
and rarely did i send one
without at least one
P.S.

i also found great joy
in sending a care package
when an event called for
the good deed

and most people know
i have devoted a great deal of time
trying to be funny

so here is the rest of the story
as paul harvey would say
(just google him then)
or the P.S.S.S.
of the letter and previous blog

"the “U”  wreathe was in a whole other " oRbIT"

Perfect for your dad's door...A word to the wise from the gal without wisdom teeth...”U” heard me...never had to have my wisdom teeth pulled.

probably the smallest care package i ever sent

“Remember Elder... to use your MAGNETIC personality as“U” meet and greet investigators and strangers. Continue to WRITE and let me know what is hapPENning...and may the words from your LIPS be SOFT and gentle even when others reject your message.”Y”? because I think “U” are sooo sick (the good kind of sick)

 Love to “U”
Your CRAZY Aunt...
