Wow, the time has slipped away. I thought I was keeping up with this, and suddenly Christmas is past and the New Year approaching.
I have been thinking a lot this Christmas. I am so glad I don’t need to wait for December 25 to celebrate Jesus!! I really need Him every day!! And to be honest, as I look around at “how” Christmas is celebrated, I get a bit disgruntled. I think it seems so artificial. I’m not trying to be a scrooge…well maybe I am..
But we did do something really fun. Someone sent a generous gift to buy clothes and shoes for Hurricane victim children. So Patrick went to the marche and bought LOTS of used clothes. We organized them and put them in boxes. Now the vehicle is loaded totally with boxes. Patrick leaves for the village tomorrow. There are enough boxes for 5 different villages. How exciting is that!! Now that is Christmas!
Hope you had a great Christmas!
Do you check comments? Just checking.
That is a wonderful Christmas. DH was worried that he couldn’t find much for me for Christmas. I let him know that being with family and enjoying time together is all that matters to me.
Family and doing for others is memories that last a long time. As I get older I my values change as to what makes a wonderful Christmas.
