I know I am saying what everyone else has already said, but I love this time of year!! Some people get stressed out with everything they feel like they have to do, but I love it! One thing I love about Christmas is the things and feelings focused on Christ. We have a tradition in my family where we always had a huge Family Home Evening focused around the true meaning of Christmas. I don't know what my mom has planned yet with our family coming into town, but I decided I wanted to do my own this year with friends. I'm super excited. I love the lessons in church as well at this time of year. I am anxious to teach the little kids in nursery all about Jesus and his birth. I mostly do singing time so I'm thinking of teaching them a Christmas song. I've been gone the last couple Sundays and sick the other so any ideas which Christmas song I could teach them???
Another favorite part of Christmas is the time with family and sharing gifts. I am definitely a gift giver. I love seeing peoples faces when they open gifts. It makes me feel so good and happy. I also love the surprise part of opening gifts too. Jameson hates it!!! His theory is if you tell him what you got him that was one moment of excitement, and then when he actually opens it on Christmas morning that is another moment of excitement because he gets to use whatever he got. Therefore getting to experience 2 moments of excitement instead of just one. BUT I have to disagree. He just doesn't like surprises and hates waiting to know what he got. I think not knowing what you get intensifies the magical feeling on Christmas morning when you open up presents from loved ones. I also love to tease him while I'm shopping for him. I tell him "Hey guess what?? I got you something today and you are going to LOVE IT." He hates when I do that haha. So anyways, if anyone wants to share their favorite part about Christmas or their favorite Christmas traditions I would love to hear them :)
I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS this year and we love you all!!!!
