The Christmas season is zipping along a little too fast for me. I want it to stay Christmas for a long time, but it always is gone so fast. Some great things have been happening, though. I'll list a few of them.
On December 5 I got to go with my daughter and my grandson's 4th grade class to see "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in Branson. I've read all the Narnia books and seen the movies many times, but I had never seen a live stage play of it. It was a wonderful performance! I love going to theatre productions.
By going to the play, we missed the Christmas parade here in town, which made me sad. I did get to see a parade though; I went to my hometown over this last weekend and saw a great parade there, led by my favorite high school band (the one all my kids were in when they were in high school). I also saw my cousin, and several friends I hadn't seen in quite a while. It was so good to see everyone! I miss my friends and family in my hometown. I wish it wasn't so far away.
I am watching a Christmas movie every day that I can. Last week I watched "Prancer," a movie from the 80s that always warms my heart. I've also seen "The Family Stone" this month and I watched "Elf" Friday night. I also plan to watch "White Christmas," "The Holiday," and "Christmas Vacation" in the next few days. Love these movies.
My house is finally all decorated, and I'm pretty much finished shopping; I just have to wrap everything now. (Amazon is the way to shop!)
I missed walking Thursday, because I was so busy getting ready to go out of town. Then I was driving for half a day Friday, so I didn't walk. Saturday I walked around the lake in the city park in my hometown. Then Sunday I was driving a half day again. I finally got back home and to my favorite place to walk, but I had to wait until late afternoon when it warmed up to 44. It was 19 degrees when I got up this morning. That's too cold for me!
I took a picture of the sunrise Thursday morning because it's about as far southeast as it will get, which, as y'all know, I find fascinating (and yes! I do get up in time to see a sunrise sometimes!).
I also got a picture of the sunlight hitting the creek where I was walking this afternoon.
Apparently, I like to take pictures. LOL.
I hope you are all having a blessed Christmas season. In all the hustle and bustle of this time of year, remember that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas.
"Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they shall name Him Immanuel, which translated means, 'God with us.'" Matthew 1:23 NASB
