Merry Christmas! I hope you are out enjoying the day with those you love. For those of you who wished for a white Christmas, I hope your wish came true. For me, I always wish against a white Christmas. And now, 5 reasons why I love Christmas…
- I believe in Christ. And it is wonderful that I can celebrate His birth. I love knowing there is someone who gives me undying and unconditional love.
- All the traditions. It is something I look forward to every year. Building the gingerbread houses. Finding an ornament that represents our year. Delicious Southern breakfast my aunt makes. The tense family gift exchange game we play with my extended family. Kids’ funny photos with Santa. Sending and receiving Christmas cards. My tradition to go Christmas shopping with my dad a few days before Christmas or on Christmas Eve.
- Overwhelming feeling the love. I get this abundance feeling of love this time of year. Maybe it is because people tend to be a little more generous and considerate of others. Maybe it is because I am surrounded by the people I love the most on Christmas Day.
- My little girls. There is nothing like Christmas with little girls. It makes all the crazy retail shopping, gift wrapping and stressing to finish last minute gifts all worth it. Just to see the excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
- Christmas carols. I love singing them. I love listening to them. I love hearing Kaye sing in her 3-year-old voice all about Santa, birth of Jesus and Christmas Day.
Hope you have a lovely Christmas from my family to yours.
