I am so EXCITED about Christmas this year...There is so many reasons for the EXCITEMENT. My brother is home. We spent last Christmas with him before he left, but it seems that the time stood still and Last Christmas is this Christmas. It is weird, but it seems like it's a second chance of some sort. Maybe it is my reality hitting me in the head...to wake up and enjoy what is IMPORTANT. Not dwell on what gift to give someone, but the gift of spending time with one another and treasuring that. And letting them know how you feel.
Another excitement is coming to really realize what Christmas is about. I have always known what Christmas stood for, but I don't think I really grasped with my whole heart. That this amazing Baby Jesus was brought into this world for us, for me. Wow!!! God knew what was going to happen to this Baby Jesus even before he was born and that this Baby was going to grow up and do great things. A great gift for us all.
I am so looking forward to Christmas Eve with my family...We go to my mom and dad's for supper, visiting, and opening presents. Matt's favorite part is watching the Christmas Story. I just like watching the kid's get excited and sitting around the tree o' so patiently, until Papaw passes out the presents. This year I am going to try some new things to enlighten the kids while they wait. Maybe it will start a new tradition. Who knows:0)
Then Christmas Morning we head to Memaw and Papaw's (Matt's parents) to enjoy breakfast, visiting and more presents for the kids. It is going to be so much fun watching how they react this year compared to last year. Especially the littlest ones.
I wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
God Bless...
Jess
