Boaz's last year in the Jr. Christmas Cantata is over, the band concert is done, the decorations are all up and my Christmas shopping is coming to and end. My Sailor is home!! I am so happy, I have two days off my full time job to spend with my hubby and son. Tonight, I'll be going out with the family shopping trying to finish up that last bit of shopping. I really need to spend a bit of time wrapping presents but that will just have to wait.
My house is so full of fun and laughter right now! All my children will be together again this year for Christmas. I can't wait to hear all of them raze each other about silly things. The boy's have already wrestled each other to see how much stronger they are since the last time Aaron was home.
I'm having a good day!

Who Started Christmas
A woman was Christmas shopping with her two children.. After many hours of walking down row after row of toys and after hours of hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, she finally made it to the store elevator with her two children in hand.
She was feeling what so many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year, getting that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, making sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sent us a card.
Finally the elevator doors opened revealing a crowd in the elevator. She pushed her way in and dragged her two kids and all her bags of stuff in with her.
As the door's closed she couldn't take it anymore and blurted out,
"Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be found, strung up, and shot."
From the back of the car, a quiet calm voice responded,
"Don't worry, we've already crucified Him."
The rest of the trip down was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Don't forget this year to keep the One who started this whole Christmas thing in your every thought, deed, purchase, and word.
If we all would, just think how much better this world would be.
Jesus is the reason for the season
Wise men still seek Him
