Christmas! Everywhere we go...in our house, there are christmas trees; little ones, big ones,, and snowmen, mixed among all our candles and Nativity scenes. We really love Christmas time! The sights, the smells and the music! We use our Christmas drinking glasses all year long to remind us that the gift of Christmas, His Son, is with us all year long!
We are drinking hot chocolate every night and watching all the old Christmas movies, crying with Bob Cratchet and Tiny Tim, watching Clarence earn his wings, and remembering that in spite of all our challenges, we too have a wonderful life........all this nostalgia will lead us to Christmas Eve where we will gather with our family to share a family meal and then share in a spiritual feast; 
dressing up the grandkids and each other to present a Christmas pageant that will rival anything at Jones Hall, sharing our feelings about Christ and each other, and then choosing the gift we will give Him this coming year, privately, individually...........it is a moment that centers us on our Savior and our gratitude for Him.Christmas day will find us all relaxing and enjoying the company of friends and family and silently pondering the great blessings that are ours. And in spite of all that swirls around us in the world, we are reminded that He is in charge, guiding us, loving us, keeping us, succoring us. Christmas has become for us a day of rejoicing and gratitude for the life and the light that He has given us.
Above all things this year we desire all our friends and family to have peace in their hearts! Merry Christmas and God Bless Us Everyone!!!!
