MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Whether we are ready or not, Christmas comes. The best thing about Christmas for me isn't the presents, or the decorations, it is being able to be with loved ones and celebrate the "reason for the season". We all know the story of the birth of Jesus, and how it had been foretold to happen for ages. Can you imagine the joy and relief of the people living at that time, as they realized all the prophecies about the lamb of God had come to pass-what joy, what relief, what astonishment and wonder! The new star that appeared to lighten the way to the new born babe. I like to focus on this, that Jesus is the light of the world. The love and hope that he brought to the world remains and we all experience it at this time of year.

We want to wish you all the joys, wonder, hope, light, warmth and magic of the season. We hope that you are all able to be with your loved ones and have a peaceful holiday. We are so blessed to have the love and friendhip of such wonderful family, friends, and neighbors. Spread the love and the light of the season every opportunity you get. (this pic is from last year)
