Now that the kids are grown, most of us have artificial trees we put up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Plus we have our custom-made Nativity to delight those who drive by our home.<br /><br />Nur will be here on Christmas Eve too. Have a wonderful family time for Christmas and the New Year, Keli.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524590475423024432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082892491124610474.post-6394321198732293882010-12-18T21:48:33.239-08:002010-12-18T21:48:33.239-08:00Our daughter likes the preparations completed the ...Our daughter likes the preparations completed the day after Thanksgiving. We've done things her way the past several years. Having the tree up and decorated with the wrapped gifts beneath it so early enables us to focus on friends and family rather than experience the frenzy. She gets home from college Christmas Eve, and we'll attend our candlelight service that night. I'm looking forward to that time of quiet reflection.<br /><br />I wish you a blessed celebration of CHRISTmas, Chris and all the best in the new year.Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082892491124610474.post-29653774771558340252010-12-18T19:16:24.864-08:002010-12-18T19:16:24.864-08:00Janet, that's the spirit!Janet, that's the spirit!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524590475423024432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082892491124610474.post-9866660521630989322010-12-18T18:03:40.241-08:002010-12-18T18:03:40.241-08:00God sent us that gift as an expression of love, an...God sent us that gift as an expression of love, and I give them to others for the same reason.Janet Ann Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234310280477491538noreply@blogger.com
