After we woke up on Christmas morning, we got up and went to Paul & Jill's for an afternoon gift exchange, and lasagna! We enjoyed the time with his parents very much. As I did with Christmas Eve, I have created a Montage of Christmas Day! You will see the entire day in this montage. Please take a look! After Paul & Jill's, we drove to Clifton to see my grandparents and all of my aunts & uncles, etc. It was the first Christmas Day that we didn't get together at my Nanny & PawPaw's farm. It was a change, and I trust that we will all adjust to the new tradition, but it was very different. We received great gifts this Christmas Day. We got money that we desperately wanted for our new camera... and I got an awesome purse set thanks to Martha, and a Mandolin from my mom!!! It is basically a cheese grater.. but I was layin bed the other night wanting one.. so it was a wish granted! She got us many other great gifts. I will reveal one of them for my Birthday tomorrow! I am getting better at accepting gifts.. it has not always been easy for me. Thanks TO EVERYONE who gave us gifts.
Dennis and I had great discussion in the car about Christmas and how we really did not celebrate and reflect and worship for his birth on Christmas Day, and how it was filled with tradition, and traveling.. LOTS of traveling and rushing.. and why it didn't feel wrong. We figured out that we worshipped, celebrated and reflected on his birth on the nights that we had the Christmas concert at Church in the middle of December. I remember Nick saying once that the "Christmas Spirit is Worship" and we Worshipped and had Christmas on December 13 and 14th! Not December 25 contrary to the Calendar! Anyone have a problem with that??
I am aware that these are power lines, but they looked like crosses to me on Christmas day! I choose to think that it is not an accident!! ;)
