The presents are mounting
the excitement is pounding
Life is good as Christmas is coming.
I love Christmas - but not because of what i'm receiving but because it gives me the chance to give good gifts to those I love, just like Christ gives me good gifts because he loves me! His love letter tells me that he gives good gifts to those who love him, and I love him.
Anyway back to giving. I know so many people get pressured and freak out under all the anticipation, crowds, and in general shopping madness. I don't. I start my shopping usually in September, and so by now I'm mostly done. I do this to make it easier on the pocketbook, and my sanity! LOL I'm very excited, I know everyone will love what I've gotten for them. At least I hope so anyway. I have just a few gifts left to get.
Mom's bf - D - GC to Barnes & Noble
Sister #2- K - I think a gift certificate to Supercuts or something
Sister #2's son - R - NOT ONE CLUE!
Little Bro - D - CD player
Mom - money! (I LOVE giving my mother money isn't that funny???)
Pastor and Mrs. Pastor - GC to dinner
I know there is more stuff, but seriously - that's not a bad list is it?
Oh yeah and I have to make snowman soups for the boys at work. Great guys I work with here at the lumber yard. They all work hard, and are good people. (We're working on getting them saved, but still good people!)
Have you ever seen the snowman soup recipe? Its so cute. You tie up some hot cocoa packets, some mini marshmallows, some hershey kisses, and a Candy cane and attach it to this little poem:
Heard you been real good this year
Always glad to hear it
With winter weather drawing near
you'll need to warm the spirit
So here's a little snoman soup
complete with stirring stick
Add hot water, sip it slow
it's Sure to do the trick!
I'm also going to add in a little invitation to our church's Christmas eve service. Sure they may not come, but they might! :) That would be wonderful if just ONE person came to church that night and remembered why we REALLY celebrate Christmas you know? Oh the joy! :)
