Christmas

It is interesting how Christmas evolves as we age. 

As children someone else is in charge, we go where we are told and enjoy the experience.  It is pretty much all about "me".

When we become an adult we can Christmas hop - time with the family, time with friends.

Then we have a family....  Christmas revolves around the children, meeting the wants, spending time with extended family.

Now we are at the point where our children have homes, spouses or spouses to be - and Christmas becomes a juggling act!  In reality, this year has been fun because we will have three celebrations.

Next year there will be a baby, so again the focus is on children.

At some point we will spend Christmas in the arms of Jesus.  That will be the best!!

Through the years, I think we have succeeded in keeping the focus on Baby Jesus for our family.  We will continue to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.

God is good.
