In my glorious Sunday message this last Sunday, I pointed out that I remember very little of what I've ever received for Christmas. But I'll always remember the people I spent Christmas with. There are SO many in my family that are gone. I used to sit at the big family gatherings and the only thing I wanted to do was leave so I could go home and open the "REAL" presents.
But I don't remember ANY of those presents. But I'll never forget all those in that big family that I'll never see again on this earth. I'd give anything to go back and sit with all those that are gone and not be in a rush to leave.
Isn't that the truth!!!! Well, probably not about your glorious Sunday message, but the point about we'll never forget those we spent Christmas with!!!

Tonight, my daughter Jacq and I will make homemade noodles for Christmas. If we have enough time, we will bake more cookies.
On Wed, Jacq and I will bake cookies and make the potato salad for Christmas Eve. (get the pattern here… Jacq is my cook… Bekah will never enter the kitchen…only to eat)
Christmas eve I have to work until about 1 or so… then I will take potato salad and cookies to my Niece Erica’s house. My pastor is getting married at the church at 6:30 Christmas eve…so we will all head to the church to see him married. At Erica’s, we are having a Honey ham, potato salad, chips and dip and cookies… we will watch Christmas movies and open the presents between us. She is also a single mom with 3 kids…Erica is a big kid herself, and we will have lots of fun.
Christmas morning back at home, I will fix breakfast and the girls will open their presents. Hopefully my oldest will make it home for dinner sometime on Christmas. We are just going to be lazy, play games, and watch Christmas movies. I am making a roast for dinner, chicken and noodles, Mashed taters… and greenbeans/corn… I am not going crazy with the dinner, it is just us. Sometime on Christmas day, I will go out to see my mom and take her the fluffy PJ’s I bought for her. She won’t have a clue it is Christmas or that it is even me, but she will like the PJ’s and socks.
Expect about 50 or 60 people at the in-laws for Xmas Day dinner. Doing a photo so some had to schedule to be here together. Usually have a couple families alternate.
Neices from China along with a soldier via Germany in my house for a week and a half.
Then, spend the Day at the in-laws. Don't think we'll do a "sit down dinner." Probably just line up too much food buffet style and watch the kids open presents.
Polish Ravioli. Pasta filled with either Potato, Potato and Cheddar or sauerkraut. Initially boild, then sauteed with butter and onion.
Delicious.
My 1/4 Ukrainian wife makes these with potatoes, sour cream and onion. She fries them in butter and calls them Perogi.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

My two daughters and their families will come over our house early on Christmas morning. We will all get on a Skype video call with my son and his family in North Carolina.
Mrs. Steinway has lots of food planned for breakfast and throughout the day.
Around 4:30pm, the guys will all head to LP Field to watch the Titans defeat the Chargers, while the gals and kids will watch a rented chick flick!
Go Titans!
