Over the last two days, this word has been a common theme. As I lied in bed last night I couldn't help think, do we truly do enough? Are we lost in the shuffle of the "event" of Christmas? I started remembering some of my favorite Christmas' and what they entitled. I remembered how we always went to Sanger, and no matter what we ate we laughed and filled our bellies, how everyone was always late (especially me since I had two families to share it with) and all the kids would be furious with them because they were delaying the gift openings, how everyone was always dressed in their finest and drank champagne, how all of us kids would make everyone's' present piles like two hours early, but most of all how it was unorganized, beautiful chaos. Now at days, it has become more of an event than a celebration. I too find myself too caught up in the details. It should just be, come one, come all! So, as you began to get pulled in 1,000 directions try to remember it isn't about the parties, gifts, or big dinners. It's about giving back and remembering what Christmas mean to you!
Merry Christmas all, and if you can remember to adapt an angel from the salvation army!
With love,
Shannon
