Vacation time!
That's right, work is done for me for the year! Until the night of january 3, i most likely won't have to do any work! And it feels great! Christmas is here! It's one of my favorite times of year, for many, many reasons. First, it's usually snowy, though not this year. Would be nice to get an inch or two of the white stuff, if not much more. Second, kids are happy and off school, so that's a win, too. Third, my mom is here with us. Last couple of years, she and my youngest brother have come out here, but this year, my brother couldn't make it. Still, mom is here, and it's great because the kids tend to behave better when grandma is around. And of course, it's because of Christmas itself. I love the music, i like the lights and the decorated tree. Gifts are cool to get and give, too, especially watching little kids play with wrapping paper and ribbons. But all that awesome fades in comparison to the real meaning of Christmas. Christmas is when we Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus on earth a couple of thousand years ago. This is when God came down to earth. Without Christmas, there could be no Good Friday and Easter, no salvation from hell. So you all make sure to eat a lot, enjoy your gifts, shovel snow if you get it. I will be. |
