Why I love Christmas!

I love telling my kids all about Jesus. And reading them Christmas stories that make me cry. And thinking about life and hope and serving and all of the wonderful things that Christmas is all about.

I love all the yummy food. Pumpkin pie, chocolate, wassail, cookies that are decorated and are so pretty you don't want to eat them. I love having family dinners and family time together.

I love thinking about what I could be doing to serve others more.

I love the music. Sacred, spiritual music about Jesus. Warm, filling music about love. Fun, dancing music about Christmas.

I love seeing twinkling lights whenever I drive around at night. I love seeing trees in people's windows and the light and warmth coming out. I love thinking about all of my family and friends that I love but don't get to talk to very often.

I love ending the year on a happy note.
