I Love Christmas... I Love to Celebrate It...

Christmas is one of my most favorite times of the year..( No song pun intended )

From Thanksgiving to Christmas, reflection and celebrations of what God has done in our lives... (and what the holidays have done to our waistlines...)

The Autumn countdown and the Winter whites....(in most states otherwise you can just go to the snow )

The Christmas Tree with Pictures of Family and beautiful ornaments just sitting there at night with it all decorated and bright... bringing a cheerful spirit into the living room... Charlie Brown Christmas...with Linus reporting "Unto us a Child is Born"...to the Plays at the Church where the 2 1/2 foot tall shepherds pick their nose while watching the manger... who could not like Christmas???


anyways....There never would have been a Cross without someone being born to fulfill His destiny....and I for one love to celebrate his Miraculous Birth just as much as I celebrate His Miraculous Resurrection every day...

Yours Christmasly..

Randy

I couldn't agree with you more!

I LOVE IT!

The sounds, the music, the food, the happiness that even grumpy people display and most of all the fact that it is a time to reflect with our families and embrace how blessed we are!

Thanksgiving is really my faviorite simply because it has not been so comercialized.

Both are about being with family and friends and celebrating the blessings of God. Christmas is wonderful, I just wish there was less of an emphasis on the buying stuff.
