Christmas Season

No, I didn't get up at some unGodly hour to go Christmas shopping nor was I camped outside of Target or Kohls or some store for a week and half to get some special item! I was sound asleep in my nice warm bed.

I love this time of year. No, not for all the presents I will receive - yes, that is very nice but that is not why this is my most favorite time of the year. I love all the pretty decorations, the excitement in the air, the beautiful colors - the tinsel, the flickering lights, the trees, the Christmas music - I love it all! Everyone forgets all their problems, everyone forgets to be nasty, everyone is nice for a couple of weeks! Don't you sometimes wish Christmas would last all year long! Not the gift-giving, but the Spirit of Christmas.

PLEASE don't forget WHY we are celebrating Christmas! And please don't forget our military and their families this Christmas either. Who would have thought I would be one of them! God Bless our troops! And let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas!
