Holidays

Thanksgiving is next week.  I’m looking forward to the holidays this year.  Chad and I are both taking off quiet a bit.  It’s nice to have so much time together.  We’ll be making a trip to Springfield to see his family.  My sister is coming to Indiana, so for Christmas we’ll be home. 

The kids decorated the house this past weekend.  I like Christmas decorations. They are cozy.  Something about it makes me feel like I should be curled up on the couch with the lights out, hot chocolate.  I use to just sit and stare at the fire when I was younger and just enjoy the silence. 

I wish I had a fireplace.  Silent firelight moments are precious.

I’m ready for Christmas!  We are getting ready to teach a 3 week Christmas series.  Christmas is about Celebration, Salvation, and Restoration!

I am in no way ready for Christmas! I don't think I'm ready for Thanksgiving yet. :)

Sounds like a good series. Would love to hear it.

I wasn't really enthusiastic about Thanksgiving because it was a missionary retreat and much to my chagrin I had a good time after all. Just did part of the Christmas decor today. I'm trying to work on my attitude about Christmas -- we aren't going home which is okay, but it's making me think about why I do all this. It's good for me! I like cozy and I love fireplaces, wish we had one too!
