The best time of year.
A time of giving, tradition, friendship, family and laughter.
There is glittery snow on the ground and ice cycles hanging from the roof.
I love having everyone together. The house smells like cinnamon, apples and bread baking in the oven.
The table is set for 12.
This will be my last Christmas with my Family before I head out to New York. I'm just taking in every minute, and feeling grateful to have such a wonderful family.
I can't imagine Christmas without them. I know it will be very different. Still good, but different.
That brings me to think about people who don't have their family close at Christmas. Or a warm house, or Christmas dinner. I pray that they can feel the love of God. I hope they know that the baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem for them. Born for all of us. He lived a perfect life that we might also live, and with his help, also become perfect. I wish I could open my door to anyone who needed a family on Christmas, because it breaks my heart to think someone is alone today.
The spirit of this season is truly a special one. I wish EVERYDAY could be like Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone.
