Finally winter approaches, things get cold and it is time to slow down, move indoors and enjoy the company of family and friends through the holidays. The food, the fun, the times of reflecting and thanking God - well, that was all in North America. We now live in South America and the seasons are reversed. It is heating up and going into summer here - my internal clock is busy looking for camps, VBS, mission trips, etc. It is truly hard to get into the "spirit" right now since my internal clock is so thrown off. : )
But, my wife - she is on target. She has been wanting to get a Christmas Tree for weeks. Finally, the time has come. We walked downtown tonight to a beautiful store that I had seen and went shopping for our artificial tree. (Heather is allergic to most things that grow so a real tree is out of the picture.)
We wrestled with the how tall, what color, how much to spend questions for quite awhile, took a vote and finally decided on a white tree. Never had one before but man is it beautiful. I can't wait to get it up, get it decorated and get some pictures of them to put on line. The kids are seriously jacked about it. They wanted to set it up immediately but we arrived home after their bedtime so they will have to wait for tomorrow. Besides, it is still November and we have a rule - 1 holiday at a time. I need to finish celebrating Thanksgiving in November & officially on December 1st - I can move to Christmas! So, tomorrow we set up the tree! Long, busy, filled up day. Lots of other stuff that will not make it into this on line journal report. But, it's all good.
Have a great day.
God bless -
May you have a wonderful end of November/ start of December
Paz, favor, y amor de Dios -
Now that it's December, Feliz Navidad!
