I love it all though. I love the advent lead up to Christmas. The nativity plays. The Christmas carols. The lights and excitement. The Christmas story. My daily devotion through December that reminds me of the Christ Child and Mary. But I like the secular side too. Especially the anticipation of family traditions, fun, teasing, sharing meals, silly gifts and sentimental gifts. And it is a time that I can shower gifts on my children and grandchildren and maybe surprise them a little. It is all a part of family closeness that produces memories that I cherish. Celebrating the birth of our Savior and cherishing my own family. That’s what I love!MamaLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233551978273975005noreply@blogger.com
