Happy Birthday Jesus!!

It’s the biggest birthday party that is celebrated around the world.

And what a celebration it is turning out to be.

We are having a wonderful time. Family has gathered here around the tree. (Many pots of coffee are a part of our holiday spirit.) We’ve lit our candles and have opened way too many presents.

(I have decided that next year, I am going to do a couple of gifts for the kids and let the grandparents take over. They do anyway and the kids really appreciate the presents from them. Yea Grandparents!!!)

Church services were wonderful, as usual. We gathered together to sing praises and to be encouraged in our Christian walk and to remember why we have Christmas in the first place. Oh and we had a nice surprise. A family that we have been asking to come to church decided to attend today. Woo Hoo! Now that’s a Christmas present!

We are about to have our Christmas dinner. We will feast together in great merriment and enjoy all the blessings that God has given us. And I don’t mean the presents we opened today…

I hope you all are having as joyful of a day. May you and your family be full of love and appreciation for the things that God has given you, too.

Merry Christmas… (in my best Tiny Tim voice) and God bless us every one.
