What a joy that we have a day to celebrate the birth of our Lord. All the rest...well, there's the good, bad and ugly!
Of course the bad is the consumerism (and one of the cats peeing on some Christmas presents) and the ugly is some of the horrible "Christmas" displays. The good, are those things that bring joy to God and remind us of WHY we celebrate Christmas.
Here are some highlights of our day:
- Christmas Eve at the Tumacacori Mission (see previous post)
- The kids wanted us to open the presents they got for us at the school's "santa store" before they opened theirs
- We shared what we are thankful for - none of it was stuff
- We spent time helping each other out, and I don't even think there was a fight
- Lots of family came over for a wonderful time of fellowship. What a gift it was to celebrate and spend time together. Everyone brought their dog along as well, so along with 16 people we had 6 cats and 6 dogs. There wasn't an alpha dog among them, so they enjoyed their party, too!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
