Christmas Time is Here!

I love this time of year! I love the music, the lights, the snowmen, the cards.... pretty much everything. 94.5 has Christmas songs on 24/7 and it is now a pre-set station in my car. I have been teaching Christmas songs at work and doing plenty of Christmas crafts. When Jonathan and I got back from Iowa I wanted to put up our decorations but it was late and we were tired. I woke up at 6 am (an hour early) the next morning to put up decorations.

Christmas also means for some reason that ladies have tea parties. I went to two this weekend! One was with our church. It was so fun! We sung Christmas hymns, had a wonderful message and of course ate some delicious desserts. It was also really great cause my mom and grandma came with me at the last minute. I am certain that this happened by the will of God. The second tea was on Saturday with Campus Crusade ladies. It was pretty similar to the church one but we made crafts as well. The leadership ladies did a wonderful job putting it together. I miss being with all of my crusade friends! They are such awesome friends and people to be around!

Most of all I love this time of year because God seems to draw us together in such a joyful way. Friends and family are spending time together and that is so wonderful. I hope everyone else feels the joy of the season. Without Christ, Christmas I think can be pretty empty and meaning less, and maybe even a little depressing. I pray that everyone will remember the real meaning of Christmas this year.
