It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas....

Christmas is one of my favorite times of year, right next to Easter. Usually, I put up my decorations right after Thanksgiving; but, since I was out of town this year for the Thanksgiving weekend, I just finished putting them up inside the house last night. The Nativity scenes, the pine, the beautiful colors, and the smells all evoke warm feelings of Peace and Joy. I know that the Holiday Season can be a difficult time of year for many people; and being an unattached single, I could be considered one of those people. But, as Thanksgiving reminds me, I really do have much to be thankful for; and most of all, Christmas is when Christ came to earth in order to become my Savior. So, how can I not be filled with the Christmas Spirit. This year, I am not only having my family over for Christmas Dinner; but, I have also invited my Sunday Fellowship Class to come over for lunch this weekend. I enjoy hosting, and fortunately have gained much experience from all the bridal showers, baby showers, Birthday gatherings, and family get-togethers that I have organized. I hope that when people enter my home, they may feel warmth, love, peace, and joy; and be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.
