Christmas

Okay, I'm gonna try out this blogging thing. Mostly because Ashley Forsyth has pressured me into it! :) Anyway, we have lots of family and friends we don't get to stay in touch with as often as we'd like, so maybe this will help. Bear with me if I don't blog often...

Christmas... I love Christmas! I love decorating and baking and getting together with family and friends! This year we put 6 trees up in our house! Granted several of them are only a foot tall, but still. I thoroughly enjoyed decorating them and deciding where to put them. I love Christmas music and could listen to it all the time! I would have to say all of the songs from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" are my favorite! That is my favorite Christmas special as well. I don't know if its because it has the true meaning of Christmas or not, but it probably is.

The only thing I don't like about Christmas is gifts. Or at least meaningless gifts gotten because you feel obligated. My family, (Josh and I included) are so blessed! We really don't need anything and don't want people to buy "stuff" for us just because. I hate going places and getting gifts and not having something decent to give. Maybe, I'm not creative enough to think of good meaningful, heart-felt gifts, but oh well. This year however, Josh came up with a great idea for our family. I can't tell you yet, but I think its a great idea!

I love entertaining....tonight we are having dinner at our old neighbors house, Will & Donna and then we are coming home and having Praise & Worship! I love having people over. We have been cleaning and preparing for tonight all day! We rearranged the movie room and Josh set the sounds system up. I made two different types of cookies! I can't wait!
