I really enjoy it. But for Andy, it means alot of overtime and less hair. For working parents (in my house it happens to be a man), it gets a little stressful when your making the money for the holiday. He also doesn't care for the holiday because then he has to go to the company Christmas party. (He wouldn't go if it wasn't for me) No matter what, the day comes and everyone enjoys December 25th.
CHRISTmas for us this year included a drive-by Nativity at a local church, giving to friends, and the kids performance in a show at the Church of Christ.

Christmas was alot of fun.I made 30 Carmel apples and delivered them to friends.




The next morning was when the fun began. Kids were up before us, pre-occupied with their stockings, and were excited to see all the wonderful things that await. I got Kitchen knives and...a Wii! Not just a Wii, but Mario Brothers with it.
My point: I believe CHRISTmas and Christmas go hand in hand. They both play a role in the holiday. I love the excitement of seeing Santa Clause and the presents and seeing the kids eyes light up. And then I love the spirit that I find through listening to songs of Christmas like"Silent Night". I love the story of the journey Joseph and Mary took to deliver Gods son, Jesus Christ. I wouldn't want Christmas without either one. They both go hand-in-hand to create the holiday season. It just wouldn't be the same to take one part out of it. Christmas is a great time of the year and I am grateful for my wonderful family and memories.

I've gotten WAY behind in my blog reading lately, but let me just say that those apples were absolutely delicious! We devoured ours that night. Thanks for thinking of us.
