I don't know about anyone else but here we are so excited for the Christmas Season. We love the snow, snuggling up on the couch with a good book. I overheard 2 women talking today while waiting for my daughter about how they can't wait until Christmas was over. They were so tired of going to this concert and that concert. When our children were in public school I remember how much I loved going to their concerts. How sad it is that some parents go into the concerts with this type of attitude. The children have worked so hard. That is one thing the kids really miss about public school. I am so thankful for the opportunity to homeschool the children. The other night they put on a play for my husband and I. It was the first Christmas, it was full of songs and scripture. It truely made me feel great to see the kids acting out the scenes. Those are the memories I cherish. I am almost done with the Christmas preperations. I still have to bake Christmas cookies. I'll probably do that this weekend. The kids love to decorate the cookies. Then I'll just have to put together the gift baskets of goodies I give to the neighbors. The kids love to deliver the baskets. We have decided this year to take the commercialism out of Christmas in our house. We have a few decorations. The main focal point is the manger scene we have. Which I know is the way it should always be. But it is so easy during this time of year to get carried away. My siblings do not understand how we can do this. I said its easy...talk to me come January when all your credit card bills are coming in and you are complaining about how much you spent over Christmas. Have a very Merry Christmas!!
