Finally it is here. That wonderful, peaceful, content feeling that comes with family time on Christmas day.
Yesterday was hectic. At one point late last night I was in my dress clothes and ...socks.... trying to push our minivan up an icy hill. Not exactly what you envision yourself doing on Chrismas Eve...or any day for that matter.
But now, it is Christmas. All FOUR children are happy and quiet sitting here with me watching a sweet animated movie. Homemade bread is baking in the kitchen (mmm...smells sooo good!)....I had a nap, everyone is thrilled with their gifts, there is snow outside....ahhh.....
Take a deep breath and revel in all that is. The beauty of life. The simplicity of a small heartfelt gift. The pure joy of a child with a new toy. A baby's smile, laugh, and babble. A hug. A Saviour that came to be with you.
We had our church Christmas Eve service last night. It was nice to just settle in with family in the midst of our last minute craziness and enjoy the season and the reason for celebration.
Hope your Christmas was magical too!
