Christmas at Our House

I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for Christmas. Clint and I have been so busy working on our house that we didn’t even plan on decorating for Christmas this year. We had sold our little 4 foot old Christmas tree and wanted to get a new one when they went on sale. We had been wanting a white tree, you know, because we like to be different and we found this one on sale for $100! We decided that we might as well put it up even though it wouldn’t be up for long. Here are some photos of our Christmas decor this year.

I have had a great time buying presents this year for family and got a lot of personalized gifts. I’ll have to show you some photos after everyone opens them. I’ve found some great finds on Etsy!

I hope ya’ll have a wonderful Christmas and don’t forget the real reason for the season!

The Christmas Story
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
