Yes, today is Christmas Eve. We have to head north this evening to spend Christmas Eve with Chris dad. Because of this we will miss the Christmas Eve service at our church this evening. I am pretty sure since we joined Brushwood we have had to miss every Christmas Eve service thus far. Spending the holiday with family is important, but I would so like to attend one of our Eve services just once. Maybe next year.
Chris works until 6PM this evening, so as soon as he gets off we have to head north. Depending on traffic we should get to his sisters house by 7:15 or so. It will be a late Eve celebration because of our late arrival. Then tomorrow on Christmas morning, we may actually head out to church so Chris can fix something I messed up on the churches website and also so we can change the sign out there. We don't have to be anywhere till 1 PM. I think we will get up, make a nice Christmas morning breakfast then head out to do these couple of things. We won't have time on Sunday to do this since he works in the morning...then, we head north again for Christmas with his mom. Christmas for us is usually lots of time spent on the road. And, I hear it's supposed to snow on and off this weekend. Good for a white Christmas...not so good for the driving.
I have also made a pledge to myself to get off this weight I have gained this past year. I would like to blame it on stress...as it has been a stressful year. But, the reality is I have just been plain eating too much...and exercising much less. Time to change that before I hit the big 50 in three years.
A couple days ago I posted about Linus's speech in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Today, I'm' just going to post the dialogue here to be read by anyone who is visiting my blog.
“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore... afraid. And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.’
I truly hope that all my friends and family have a Blessed Christmas!!
