13 days until Christmas

OK so the title of this blog in itself stresses me out. Which is exactly the opposite of what my pastor as been preaching about. It is so hard to keep your focus and not get stressed out. The presents, the parties, the money, the wrapping, the traveling, the cards (that I am sure I will not mail again this year) - oh my!!!

So if you read my blog and have great ideas on how to focus on Christ this Christmas and not on all the other stuff that HAS to be done, please respond. My kids are getting older and I am feeling like I need to come up with more grown up things to help them focus on the real meaning of the season. Of course we will have a happy birthday Jesus party, read the bible story all month, buy gifts for others, sing the songs but I would love to hear if you have any other ideas to share.

I plan to post some pictures of the house all decked and the girls in their Christmas outfits but in case I don't blog until the new year - I pray you and your family will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
