Happy Christmas Eve. It is about time for Santa to make his appearance for all those little ones. I can only try and remember the anticipation and joy they feel. That was such an exciting time. I so enjoy watching all the young ones in my family. They just get so excited.
For me, I am reflecting on the real reason for celebrations of the day. Not all the gifts and food and partying - but the REAL GIFT!
And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold. I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10-11
It is a cool morning here. We will not be having a white Christmas - just a soggy one. It is going to be warming all week - with chances of rain every day.
I plan on making my snack mix today - and getting out the things I will be taking to brother's tomorrow.
I wish each and every one a very Merry CHRISTmas! Enjoy every moment with your family and friends. Make wonderful things happen, as these will be the memories of the future!
I will not be doing a post on Christmas Day.
Stay safe and well and have a wonderful and blessed day!!!
(Little Penpen) Merry Christmas, Cheryl! ♥️

Blessing Cheryl I pray you have a wonderful Christmas and make many wonderful memories. We have already had our family gathering as all the kids are going to the other side of their families so my hubby and I will have a quiet Christmas Day. It will just be us and the cat.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy. I am looking forward to tomorrow and to next Sunday. I just love being with the nieces and nephews - they are fun and they keep me young.
