Happy Christmas Eve!!!
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m excited. Today I will be hopefully staring a new tradition of having people over for Christmas Eve. If you’ve been reading here a while then you’ll remember that entertaining is something that I basically never do. I’m not having a lot of people over just my mom, my brother’s family, a cousin, and maybe a friend or two. It should be a good time. My place is cleaner than it has been in months thanks to Pine-Sol , Lysol, and Bleach. Tomorrow I will prepare the feast!!! OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration Tomorrow I will cook the food..
One of the things I really enjoyed as a kid was seeing all of my extended family on Christmas day. That does not happen any more as the older generation has gotten… older. And the younger generation is spread out. So this is the right time for me to start this new tradition. The holidays are not easy but they can be easier when we focus on what we can do to make it more Joyful. Sharing a meal and my home fore a few hours will make the holiday more Joyful for me.
How are you celebrating Christmas? Are you doing anything different this year to make it more Joyful?
I am working every single day for the rest of my life to be filled with more joy and peace, and asking the Lord to bless me to be a giving servan of peace to all that He allows me to meet in His world. U r awesome; thank you for helping us to understand and to keep in the forefront of our hearts the reason for the season.
Nice! I would like to start having a Christmas Eve dinner at my house, especially since I am now a co-parent. My mother usually hosts it, but I think I will take over the reigns next year. We also have a tradition of opening a gift a day early:)
I was blessed to celebrate with both my iimmediate and extended family! We love to sing together!
