I anticipate this time of year so much b/c it almost makes me feel like a kid again! I love Christmas, the excitement, the wonder, the family, the fun, the coziness of just being in my home w/ my husband & kids & always, a beautiful time to reflect on the birth of my savior. It's not so much about going crazy shopping or seeing myself strive to make the holidays perfect. I simply love how Jesus is my center even more this time of year. JC & I enjoy showing the kids what the true meaning of Christmas is all about. It's neat to see their faces when we talk about baby Jesus being born, the wise men...the story is magical & such a beautiful reminder of God's love for us.
This time of year as well, is a difficult time for JC's job. Work really slows down, so it really forces us to put on the breaks with spending & yielding our temptations. Which has actually been a healthy thing. It's not easy, but it realigns our focus even more, which we hope will teach our kids a thing or two about the meaning of Christmas.
I've got some photos....so enjoy....more thoughts I will write soon...today w are baking Christmas cookies....fun, fun!
