It’s so fun to get together with friends and family and I find myself looking forward to it every year. This year is no different, I can’t wait! In my family Christmas has always been about family and about the reason we celebrate as a family. I’ve always appreciated being able to go to church on Christmas Eve and sing songs of joy about the Savior that was given on a cold winter night. It is the culmination of advent, the reason we have a Christmas to celebrate and I love it.
This could very easily turn into the ‘real reason for the season’ type of blog post but that’s not what I want to accomplish. Instead I simply want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas. May they joy that is floating around find you celebrating with family and friends for all you have to be grateful for.
Merry Christmas!!
P.S.
One of my favorites, out of the mouths of babes:

| "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. That is what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." |
XOXO. Love you!
