Christmas Memories

We had a great Christmas this year. I have enjoyed seeing our family and working with them. It's a special time of year when we can all be together. It was fun talking with Jason. Talking to him made us all a little homesick for him. We also had a great opportunity to work together as a family after Christmas. It made me feel so proud of them and I appreciate all they did even though I got them into something they did not volunteer for. Thank you! Thank you!

I was taking down a picture that I have up for Christmas and it says "BELIEVE in the magic of Christmas". I've been thinking alot about that lately and I do believe in that magic. Sometimes it is a true miracle to me that Christmas all happens. You wonder where is all the money going to come from for Christmas? Or how am I going to get all of this done? How are we going to feel the true spirit of Christmas with all this shopping, decorating, cooking, parties, and rushing around. But that is the magic of Christmas. It all happens(everything turns out) and that true spirit comes with the quiet time of listening to the Christmas Story being read from the Bible, or seeing the smiles on the elderly as we sing Christmas Caroles, listening to Christmas music, and being with our families and loved ones.

All the decorations and junk are put away for another year. I will wait until next year for the Christmas miracle to happen again. I may be getting older but I do BELIEVE!
