BARRY'S CORNER - LIVING IN ELKMONT
As I enter my last...blessed last 2 weeks before Christmas break I want to reflect on some things for parents ... Elf on the Shelf...wrong just wrong. Listen to 2,444,867 stories a day. When the conversation starts with “Coach Pugh”...”Guess what my elf did last night” I want to say “what”...”Move to Mexico?”
Wrong. Letting your kid wear something with bells on it. Do you know the incessant sound these “adorable” bells make in a gym while the child is running...Wrong..
Parents please start everyday with “wake up!” “Christmas is ——days away!” All day I hear, "how many days till Christmas ?" Over and over and over ! Started saying it’s canceled due to weather. Do not tell them I can not get in touch with Santa, please. Only play in the defense play book this time of year.
But the last thing...love every minute of it. Parents they will grow up fast! Have fun and embrace them. Don’t neglect them. Read every Christmas book you can to them. Bake every cookie, decorate every post. Time will come when they are grown. Gonna miss all “my” kids! Have a good one !
