Christmas is coming...

I am so thankful for this Christmas season... I feel as if I have opened a new gift!

The house is decorated inside and out. Our friends have gathered here for our annual Holiday Open House. We have also been blessed to attend a handful of other holiday parties! We've seen two Christmas shows - with another scheduled for Christmas eve. We still have a few gifts to aquire and a few more cookies to bake... yet somehow, in the what should be the hustle and bustle of the season, we have had plenty of time to sit by the fire, read Dickens Christmas Tales, play games, and watch several favorite holiday movies. We have had plenty of quiet time to paint ornaments and make fudge.

My son and his fiance' will be home next weekend and we are ready! We only have a few days with them here at our home, they travel all over the state to visit everyone - plus they have the second week to finalize plans for their wedding next summer. Then back to Florida to finish off the school year.

This year we will drive to gramma's (hubby's mom) on Christmas Eve and stay the night, then spend Christmas day with hubby's extended family. We'll stop by our future "in laws" home on the way home for a holiday drink and special time - they are a wonderful family, my son is blessed indeed!

The week after Christmas is wide open - maybe we will hit the ski slopes or the ice rink... visit friends and relax by the fire... I would love to go for a sleigh ride this year... feeling very nostalgic.

This journey with mom's cancer has been a journey back home -- coming to understand that all that truly matters are the ones God has given us to love... hubby and the kids - a future daughter in law, extended family and our friends... we are blessed abundantly!

Above all - we have been given the greatest gift if all in our savior Jesus, born to us in Bethlehem... When we love Him with all our heart and mind and soul, He gives us more love than we can ever imagine!!

Christmas Blessings to all my HSB friends!!
