Who is coming to our house?
That is the name of the board book we have been reading to D before bed. It is about all of the animals in the stable as they prepare for Mary and Joseph's stay.
OK so I was really getting anxious about Christmas tonight. I was worried about my parents, brothers, and aunt and uncle coming for breakfast on Saturday, and getting presents bought, made, and wrapped...and then we don't have a tree yet...and when will we decorate it? But, and this will sound trite to some of you- I remembered none of that matters, because Jesus is the reason for the season. Reading that book to Dorothy again tonight just simplified it in my mind. All that matters is the fact that Christ came for us. This is a time to celebrate, not stress. So I know that others have made this point before and much more eloquently but I just wanted to bring it up again. Christ is the reason we celebrate this time of year. May God bless you this week.
