Sharing is Caring

I remember one particular Christmas when at the tender age of 12, my aging grandmother presented me a gift.

Many years ago, when I was younger and a much less experienced gifting advisor to St. Nick, a rock tumbler appeared under our Christmas tree.

This morning, our tree lights went out. I checked each strand. I even double checked them in different outlets. No luck.

Pause for a minute to think about your traditions. What are your family traditions?

It’s hard to avoid Christmas music, and we don’t completely shun it, but when we do find albums that stick to an Advent theme, they will get heavy play in our home. 

A closer look at the rest of the Nativity. . .

Ever wonder why certain animals were depicted in that manger scene besides reflecting the cultural context of the era Christ was born?

As Advent dawns, I can feel my stress level rising. It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness and to forget the reason for the season.
