As my niece so lovingly wrote in our Christmas card,

'For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.' Luke 2:11.

I just love this time of year, it all gives me a warm fuzzy. The lights and music, the way people extend a smile or warm greeting, even more so during the holiday. It can seem hectic at times, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! The look on the kids faces (and some of the grown-ups)when they open their gifts is truly priceless! Who can grumble at delicious meals and family gatherings? I love searching for those perfect, yet practical (some not so much) gifts. And guys, Denny will tell you that if you have a daughter that is old enough to drive, it's the bomb this time of year! Just give them the money and your list and you'll be enjoying the holiday in no time. Heck, they'll usually even wrap it for you!

My mom and uncles summed Christmas up perfectly by saying that they were thankful to have enjoyed another year together, in relatively good health. Who could ask for more? I know I am very thankful for family and friends. Be thankful for what you have, and pray for those who have less. Amen. And pass the potatoes!

Pictures to follow, one of us is having technical difficulties, not sure if it's me or the equipment~

will have all this and more from our annual New Year's weekend hunting trip!
