I clearly remember turning the
calendar to Dec 1st. I was so excited
about the possibilities with my family this month.
I had so many ideas, thoughts and
great anticipation on how magical I could make this Christmas season.
I mean, how fun to be the mom who
gets to plan out all these fun filled activities, and come up with my own traditions.
I searched online for all the fun Christmassy
things to do in our town.
Found cute crafts to make, got all
the Christmas movies out, piled the Christmas books, and searched for advent
calendars.
So…here I am days away from CHRISTMAS
Day….and I look back on December, I didn’t get to half of it.
And you know what…..its ok!
I started thinking about what I
remembered from my family traditions growing up.
It was really the simple things.
Extended family enjoying brunch on
Christmas morning, complete with coffee cake and grape juice; which I drank in
a blue Fenton glass.
My dad reading the Christmas story
from Luke 2; some years my siblings and I memorizing it and had to recite it
before present time.
Waiting patiently at the top of the
stairs, while every grown up went downstairs to get ready for the presents.
Going to grandma and grandpa’s house
for Christmas dinner.
Wonderful Memories!
So, as we enjoy this wonderful
holiday this week, may we focus on celebrating Jesus, and sharing His love with
others.
Merry Christmas!
