Christmas

I love Christmas! I love watching the tree when all of the lights are off. I love seeing my girls examining and admiring the presents under the tree. I love hearing Catherine playing Christmas carols on the piano. I am so excited for this time of year! Two of my dearest friends have their birthdays this week, as well as my birthday this week; it leaves me feeling so giddy and festive to have more people to suprise and to celebrate. We are staying home this year and doing our own little family thing. I am excited to start creating traditions and memories of our own. School is done for me for two weeks and I can hardly wait to get everything cleaned up and ready so that I can relax and enjoy. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays as a parent, as a person I enjoy it for a whole different reason. I love the feelings that people get during the holiday season. Goodwill is abundant and I wish that the feelings and spirit of Christmas would remain all year in people's heart. I am grateful for Jesus Christ and that I can feel of his love and sacrifice everyday of the year and not just when we celebrate his birth.
