I am the type of person who takes the time to fold or wrap each Christmas light string neatly enough to put them back in their original box, and I take it personally when I try to use them the following year, and they don’t work. We managed to get the inside of the house decorated early, but the outside…has been a challenge. Walmart is sold out of all the Christmas lights I need.
As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get a handwritten napkin.

“Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.” – G.K. Chesterton
We are told today that “tolerance” is the highest virtue. Bishop Fulton Sheen disagreed. He taught that we must be tolerant of people, but intolerant of error.
