I love to plan but pregnant with my fifth am learning to flex in the planning…..:o)
Well, now that I have caught my breath from throwing my brains up this morning I’m off to make a mess decorating Christmas shirts with the kids!

PS thanks for including a picture of the tree, my husband and I got such a kick out of that!

Mama gets a morning cooking-free and they think they’re nearly in heaven!

Thanks.

Thank you. I spent a few years in a row celebrating Christmas while grieving deaths of my children… and this year, we are celebrating Christmas while celebrating AND anticipating *life*. It feels different, yet there are aspects that are the same. And you hit the nail on the head (as you often do): it’s because the Good News is that we have a Savior! In the grief and in the joy, we celebrate because He was, He is, and He is to come! Amen. Thank you for the ever-timely reminders.
Happy Advent ~ sweet anticipating.

I wasn’t pregnant but I was very sick and one of my children didn’t even get a gift because we went shopping on Christmas Eve – all of us – and I ended up in the emergency room! I can’t remember Christmas dinner that year but it was ridiculous I’m sure! It is true that no matter what Immanuel was with us then, IS with us now and will be with us forever!!!

I tend to lean on the cant be bothered side of the festive season. But this year, I’m trying to branch out and make it fun. Because as you’ve said… We have a saviour! And that is worth celebrating! Looking forward to your dads book on Christmas to arrive in the post.
