Bring on the Holidays!

Although it's not really beginning to 'Look a lot like Christmas' I am starting to get that Christmas spirit built up within me. I LOVE Christmas! Not only do we have the opportunity to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, but we also have the wonderful privilege of hosting and attending parties and gatherings. There is so much Joy in the air, and the love that is shown to others is simply amazing. It's interesting how a 'season' can make that kind of impact on the world. I guess it's really a great example of God's great love for his people. He has given us so many reasons to celebrate, of which Christmas is just one.
