Oh boy…it hit me this morning. The overwhelmingly exciting feeling I get every year at some point that Christmas is coming. 🙂 The little kid, look at the pretty lights, wow-do you see that beautiful tree kind of feeling. The looking out the window, wondering if it will snow a little bit for a white Christmas feeling. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and we will be spending it eating way too much food and laughing and enjoying family. And then…we will be decorating soon, and turning our old house into a wonderland of fairy lights and green and red and gold. And although I know Christmas would still be Christmas without all the decorations, it still makes me happy to see the wonder in my children’s eyes as they look at the lights, and when we set up the manger scene and save baby Jesus to put into the manger last. Christmas…Jesus’ birthday…time to remember and treasure and cherish. Enjoy every moment and have fun making memories. Slainte, Lisa
Think About These Things 
The thrill and excitement of the season never leave you. Each passing year seems to just add to the excitement and wonder of the miracle of Christmas.
Very true. 🙂
It is sad that this year I will not be here to help put up the decorations.
Don’t remind me…we will think of you the whole time, and when you get home, it will be a glistening, glowing globe of a home for you. 🙂
