Today is the first day of having to wait for Christmas again. It is a real buzzkill. I love Christmas. To me Christmas isn't about the presents. It is fun to get presents, but in reality I could not get a single thing and be happy just to be reminded of the fact that more years ago than I can believe The Lord was trying to save my soul with His Son. That's why on Christmas I like to surround myself with the biggest blessing the Lord has ever given me, my family. As everyone who has ever read this blog knows, we are super close and love any reason to spend some time together. The gang is loud and fun, and as Bob said Spirited. When someone gets you that present you really wanted, we cheer. When you say what you are thankful for in the past year, everyone cries. We just love each other and we love to support each other.
This year was rare. My Dad's whole family was all in attendance of Christmas Eve at some point. This hasn't happened in over ten years. My Mom's whole family (HB's for life) was in the same house for the second time in three months. We all got to spend time catching up and talking about what was going on. I was so happy that we all got to be together. I was so happy that I didn't take a single picture.
Also today is my parent's 30th wedding anniversary. I am blessed with parents who love each other, and love the Lord. They always show us love and always put us first. Their love for our family is incredible. Also, they are coming to visit this weekend
I am thankful this year. Thankful and blessed. What more could a girl ask for really?
I hope you all have a splendid day!
