Okay, there's only 1 more day til our holiday festivities really get underway. Eve has an office party today, then she's off at noon tomorrow for the remainder of the Christmas holiday. WEEEHOOO....so, the checklist comes out...
1. is all the laundry done for the trip? Yes
2. are all the gifts wrapped and ready to go? Yes
3. Have we changed all the Christmas counters to the correct number of days? Yes
4. Are we near all the people we love or making plans to see them? YES
5. Is there joy in our hearts? YES
I love Christmas so much...not for the gifts, not for the lights, and the glittery things (although my heart does beat faster, and my smile widens when I see the sparkles), but for the meaning of the season. I love how families come together to share their stories, their laughter and their love. I love how the clerk at the register smiles a little more, wishes me a joyous season. I love how I am a better person during this time of year. I love the gleam in the kid's eyes - big and little! I love the carol-filled trips to Mom and Dad's, Grandma and Grandpa's, and all those we love! I love the thought that on this day God saw me and sent a savior for me - the greatest gift of all.
Ho Ho Ho....Merry Christmas...may this season's joy last throughout the year.
