Enjoying the Season!

I am truly enjoying the Season!! Are you?

Unlike the many that are going crazy, and are stressed because of the commercialism that this Holi-day has….we are relaxed and enjoying the moment.

The reason for this season is to celebrate our Lord, who came to us as a babe, all along knowing that He would die for our sins.

Our family has a tradition of reading several books depicting the Story of Jesus.  We  read many of the other stories that my children also enjoy.  We  have a tradition of hanging ornaments on our Christmas tree, the twelve days before Christmas.  Each ornament has a story and bible verse leading to the birth of Jesus Christ.

It is a beautiful scene watching my children listening attentively to the stories although they have heard them in the past.  This year I have involved the older children in my family and they are taking turns reading the bible verses and stories on each ‘adornament’. I love this family tradition!

Another tradition we have is the non-stop baking of goodies.  We bake every other day and give the goodies to teachers, Sunday School leaders, mailmen, our patients and family and friends.  Our house smells yummy for 2 weeks leading to Christmas.

Do you have traditions that you do every Christmas Season?  Share them with us… I love to read all the different family traditions.

Wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas and Happy New Year!!
