Merry Christmas

This year has been a little challenging in terms of getting ready for Christmas. I didn't get started shopping until about two weeks ago. I'm still not done!!

We went and got our tree on Saturday and decorated it on Sunday. Having the tree up makes it feel more like Christmas.

I have to keep reminding myself that Christmas is not about all of the chaos of decorating and shopping. It is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. If none of the other things get done, it doesn't matter because Christmas is not about us and our satisfaction.

We hope that our family and friends will have a very merry Christmas and take time to reflect on the true meaning.
