Almost Christmas ....

I love Christmas ...it hasn't always been this way...

Christmas past where Christmas held such hope but produced little joy and lot's of dissappointment heartache and sadness. Split between 2 households never where I wanted to be -only where the courts dictated and parents decided.

Christmas present - Christmas mornings .....
I love being able to give others gifts that make them happy- I love my kids and want them to have great memories of Santa and surprises of opening boxes and finding just exactly what they wanted. Having stacks of presents to open .


yet now Knowing God as I do - seeing Jesus and what He has done in my life Should Christmas as it is now still be what I seem to have made it? Do my kids GET that this is about Jesus ? Not the presents not about Joy that mom and dad can give them but about the eternal Joy thru Jesus? Have I inadvertantly wreaked Christmas?

Something for me to ponder ....
