Christmas thoughts

Wow I don't know what happened but I seem to have fallen off the face of the planet with blogger. I am making a New Years resolution a few weeks early. I am going to blog a lot more. It is nice for me to look back and see what has happened in my life.

Can't believe that it is already Christmas. We are very excited and hoping that the next few days fly by very quickly. We are getting tons of snow and praying for a break in the weather so that family can drive into town safely. I myself have to drive to my parents house alone on Wednesday and am very worried about it. It isn't far, about 45 minutes, but I am very scared of driving in wet weather.

In previous years, I have not felt the holiday spirit at all, but this year I got it about Halloween. It has killed me to have to wait this long. But now that it is finally here, I am a little sad that it is almost all over. My girls have been so sweet and excited for the holiday to start as well. I actually helped put up 4 trees this year and went to the "Nutcracker". What a fun December I have had. I made huge stupid Christmas Newsletters that took way to long and sent them a week ago. But the part of the season that has been the most wonderful, when I think about Christ or hear religious music I am very touched and cry like a baby. I am not sure that the spirit has ever been this strong with me.

I know without a shadow of a doubt that Christ lives and loves all of us. I love this time of year because we get to remember Him more then ever. His birth, his life, his death and then his life again. What an incredible thing to know. I feel very blessed to know that Christ lives! I feel very blessed to know that I have a Heavenly Family that loves me and wants me to return to them someday.
