Christmas Thoughts


Today I was reflecting on what I like best about Christmas and here is what I love about the Christmas season...in no particular order.

  • My mom's homemade chex mix

  • Dave's mom's homemade ribbon fudge

  • Christmas in the mountains...where there is always a chance of snow for Christmas

  • My dad will have a very warm fire going in the house.

  • Great Christmas parties with friends

  • Amazing food

  • Anticipating what a joy it will be watching Arden open her Christmas gifts

  • Turing off the lights and just enjoying in the lights of the Christmas tree

  • Looking for the perfect gift

  • Trying to fit everything in the car

  • Seeing old friends at the churches where we grew up

  • Walking in the snow while enjoying the lights

  • Wrapping gifts

  • Hot coco with marshmallows

  • Driving around looking at Christmas lights

  • Christmas Eve's services

  • Teaching Arden about the baby in the manger

  • How generous our families are

  • Getting Christmas cards in the mail

  • Great memories of past Christmas'

  • Dominoes with Dave's family

  • Relaxing in the hot tub with the snow falling

  • The anticipation of giving and receiving gifts

  • Still laying in bed listening for sleigh bells

  • The stillness of Christmas Eve

  • How the world stops for this one day

  • Knowing that all of Christmas is because of a tiny baby who was born, who came to be the Prince of Peace.
