I’d like to spend a night in a stable.

Not really. I just want the book.

We want to sing for older people, and also have our children play their violins for them this year. We want to keep it simple, and really keep the reason for the season in mind, there are many hurting out there. Let’s share Jesus with them.

If it were possible I would love it if every single person, including our soldiers, could be home with their families for an old fashioned country holiday.
Could we have a hiatus from all the commercialism, for once, and focus on how much we love Jesus and each other?

get my family & extended family to give to a family in need rather than each other…

I would love for Rock to pray over his boys….for us to pray with each other individuallly and over the grandkids….and sit in the presence of God…before the “presents”.

This will be our second Christmas without our oldest daughter. Last year we didn’t do anything new because we were still rather numb and just wanted to get through it for the younger kids (we have three children remaining at home). I’d like to focus a lot more on GIVING with them — work on some projects together that we can give to our neighbors or take to the homeless ministry our church is serving at. But I haven’t figured out any details yet.

I haven’t really thought about it. I’ve mostly been thinking about how we’re traveling to PA to visit my husband’s grandparents. We’ve done that each year we’ve been married except last year…And most of the family will be there.
I’ve baked bread and given cards to neighbors in the past, so I’ll probably do the same.
As far as what to do for our children, I think a LOT of talking about Jesus being the reason for the season. “Do you know WHY we give and receive gifts for Christmas??”…

I would really like to just slow down this season. I feel like we rush through everything, especially on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Not this year. I want to enjoy my family’s annual CE get-together and CD with my kiddos.

This technically isn’t my first Christmas with a baby yet, but it feels like it is. I want to cherish this Christmas more than ever before because of the little baby GIRL (!) in my belly. It’ll be a time of joy and change, and I absolutely cannot wait for it! I love Christmas!!!
