Well as I’m writing this I am thankful that I am pretty much ready for Christmas. The presents are bought and wrapped, the decorations are up and all that is left is cooking the big meal. I have even sent out Christmas cards for the first time in probably 15 years or so. I decided that I was going to boycott the christmas card thing years ago and I did…. until this year. I received a couple of the nicest Christmas cards. You know the kind with the picture on them. Well, they were so nice and I appreciated them so much and was honored that they felt we were worthy enough to receive them, that I began to feel guilty about not sending cards. Soooo… I sent cards out!! Hopefully my cards will make others feel the same way that I felt. If you really think about it, that’s really a big part of what Christmas is all about, trying to make others feel special even if for just a minute or two.
We are looking forward to seeing Kyndal open her gifts this year. She is so into presents and Santa. She has asked Santa for an Elmo, she tells me that she has to be a good girl so Santa will bring Elmo. She doesn’t exactly say it like that. It goes more like: Santa, Elmo, good girl!! I LOVE IT!!
She went and saw Santa (great grandpa Kinzie). At first she was scared and did not want to get near him. By the end of the evening they were best buddiees. She had to hug and kiss him several times before we could leave. We will be having Christmas dinner here and both Chrissy and Willie as well as Steven and Emily will be here. Roger’s parents and sister will be coming as well. It is such a special blessing to have a good family that you can get together with and enjoy each other.

In closing, try to bring Christ into your Christmas celebrations this year. I really feel that with the economy as it is, alot of people are going to get back to the real meaning of Christmas. If nothing else we can be thankful for that part of the bad economy.

I will put some Christmas pictures on here after I get them. I hope each and every person that takes the time to read this has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
