Merry Christmas!

I want to wish you a memorable Christmas!  It is my prayer that you will experience every moment to its fullest.  That you will linger and hold on to each interaction.  Time seems to pass so quickly and we are so busy getting "ready" for Christmas, that we sit down to relax and enjoy just as the last few moments slip by.  Work less this week.  Require yourself to be less perfect and less prepared.  Enjoy the mess of cookie baking and gift wrapping.  Laugh more and plan less.  Listen more and talk less.  Stay up late and watch a good movie with a child snuggled in close.  Get up early and have a cup of coffee with your man.  Spend some time staring at the beauty of a lighted Christmas tree.  Read Luke 2 with new wonder of a Savior who became man to save us.  Enjoy!  I plan to.

Merry Christmas!  Happy Birthday Jesus!
