And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day

We have had a great day being together as a family and celebrating Christmas. We started out the day by laying around in our P.J.'s (sounds like a celebration to me!). Then we had a great Christmas lunch together. I made cornish hens, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes with gravy, and rolls. It was super!

My hungry troopers.



Then after cleaning that up we all crashed for a while. Tonight we went to our Christmas Eve service at church. Had a great time of worship. Then we went to look at the lights in town. After getting home, we got a back in our jammies, again. I made cookies and popcorn. We watched some of Christmas stuff on T.V. Then we sat down as a family and John read the to us the birth of Jesus.


And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock.
And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.

Luke 2:7-14


Remember the reason for the season, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
