Excitement

 

It's always good when you can feel the excitement in the air and have joy in your heart!

We all need things to look forward too!   

I've heard people rejoicing because of the Fall weather.   I'm thinking, "But it's so cold".  But then also hear people complaining because a few stores have a few items out for Christmas already.  Now, I'm rejoicing!  Call me strange but I plan to have 3 months of Christmas.  Yes, that's me you see at LifeWay Christian Store admiring the Christmas display!   I'm pretty sure that since it is now October I can begin enjoying Christmas in earnest.   Oh yes, I have not had a real true American Christmas Season in 6 years so I'm going to enjoy the whole process.  

• The decorations
• The songs
• The anticipation 
• The Santa at the Mall (I promise I won't sit on his lap)
• The candles/smells of cinnamon and other Christmasy things
• The greenery
• Window shopping
• Fun toys (in stores only/I can't afford to bring them home) 
• Christmas Programs
• Christmas Dramas 

Oh yes, I am going to bask in the joy of Christmas for 3 whole months!   

And amid my selfish enjoyment of All Things Christmas I hope to learn more about the true meaning of Christmas.     



Merry Christmas EVERYONE!!!
