Well, we are just a few days from Christmas. Yes - this year will be different, but that is OK. Christmas isn't about food and presents, there is a much BIGGER reason for the season. Never forget the true meaning behind Christmas.
Last night I got to see the planets align (the Christmas star) for just a couple moments in between clouds. It was bright, but not as bright as thought it would be due to the haze. That is OK, as the symbolism was still in my heart, thinking of that Christmas over 2000 years ago.
AMEN - be so very thankful for everything and everyone
Just a sew sweet stories of old and hopes that you SMILED!
BE MERRY AND HAPPY
Merry Christmas Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThank you and the same to you and your daughter
DeleteI’ve never seen the one about cutting down the tree representing the crucifixion of Christ - it was very touching ❤️
ReplyDeleteI thought so as well. I just love all the old tales.
DeleteIn other normal years 😄 we do 4 gifts.
ReplyDelete'Something you want
Something you need
Something to wear
Something to read'
One gift on Christmas to celebrate God's gift to us and three on Epiphany to celebrate the gifts from the Wise Men.
This also allows one to take advantage of sales 😆
wink - Wink!! I love it though. No need for more - God is our greatest gift.
DeleteI got this saying from a friend who decided to tone down the spending frenzy with her kids. I thought it was a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt is great. Kids get waaaaayyyy too much. So many people buying and the kids really have no idea what they even have.
