Christmas - 2006

Another year is quickly fading past into the distant past which means another Christmas will soon be upon us. The most significant changing of this Christmas is how much the children are growing. The older ones now are starting to participate more in an independent way every year. We have one who is going to split her time now between another family and ours this Christmas, gone is the opportunity of the family celebrating the holiday together.

Everyone is starting to get sick this holiday season. Once one person gets the bug then it starts going down the line. Right now, it appears to be a one day incubation period. One son got sick yesterday another one today. Hopefully, through prayer it will soon stop. It wouldn't be enjoyable for anyone to be sick during Christmas.

We went and saw the Nativity Story earlier this week. The story is incredible. If you have a chance to see it in the next couple of days you should take the opportunity to check it out. I don't think it will be around after next week. After that, it will be a definite buy when it comes out on DVD. I wouldn't anticipate it coming out until right before next Christmas season though.

In 3 days, I will be heading out to Palm Desert to help with the opening of the newest Bristol Farms. It is going to be a beautiful store. I will be gone for a week to help then be back before the New Year. My younger kids want to spend the night at the Rose Parade. This is something I am seriously considering. At least it shouldn't be as bad as last year. No New Year's Party this year at church? Nothing advertised yet, it is getting late.

Well, Merry Christmas, may you know the Risen One who gave us the reason to celebrate this season.
