I love Christmas
I am telling the truth… I absolutely love Christmas. ¬†It is my favorite time of the year. ¬†I love the reason we celebrate Christmas and all of the meaning behind this season. ¬†I love Christmas music, the decorations, spending time with family, the secrecy of presents, and rejoicing in the birth of Christ. ¬†It makes me sick to see people so caught up in all the festivities that they for get about the real reason of the season. ¬†I am all about giving presents but I think that if you don’t honor Christ and make Christmas all about gifts then you have missed out on a blessing.
This will be mine and James’ 2nd Christmas as a married couple. ¬†It will however be our first Christmas at home, just the 2 of us. ¬†We will be joining my parents for Christmas dinner. ¬†I am looking forward to the many traditions that we will establish this year. ¬†We just finished decorating on Monday night and I am very excited about it. ¬†We got a 4′ fake tree and it is sitting on our table. ¬†I love our tree. ¬†I would love to have a real one, but I am allergic. To see pictures of our decorated apartment click here I am so thankful for this season and what it represents.
This week has been a very busy Christmas week. ¬†Today I did narration for a k-4/k-5 Christmas program and tonight is the 1st-6th grade Christmas program. ¬†I am not a part of this but since James is I am in a way. ¬†I will be here and be helping out. ¬†I am not upset about this… Remember I like Christmas… it is the kids I can’t handle. jk ¬†On Friday night there is a High School Drama production… yep you guessed it, it is Christmas also!
I hope you are all enjoying your holiday season. ¬†Only 2 1/2 weeks of school before Christmas vacation… then we get 2 weeks off to enjoy all the festivities! ¬†Just don’t forget that Jesus is the one who gave us Christmas… Without Him we would have nothing to celebrate!
I love Christmas so much!!! I can’t wait to decorate – hopefully on Saturday. I did all my cleaning today in preparation for it.
I love Christmas too, but I’m having a really hard time getting into it this year, unfortunately. Although, Beck and I did diagnose why, so at least I know why now. lol. Beck’s a good counselor, we must have learned a lot in our masters program.
lol Thanks, Jen. It’s much easier to play the part of a counselor when it’s with your friends. For some reason, it gets scary in a more formal setting.
