CHRISTMAS!!!

I love Christmas. I love the sights, sounds, and smells. I love I am all but finished buying presents. I have some stuff that I don't like to buy until the last minute, but other than that, it is basically wrapped up - and I mean that literally as everything is wrapped as well!!!

Here is a little of how things are looking around here: Joy! Christmas brings me joy. It isn't about the stuff but about the meaning and atmosphere.

This is my praying Santa. The particular decoration is one of my favorites because it incorporates so much of the season.

Without Christmas, the cross would really just mean nothing. If Jesus didn't come as a baby, he couldn't have died as the Savior!

And with the gift of salvation, He truly became Joy to the World!
