Who is Ready..

..for Christmas?


ME!!!
I am so looking forward to Christmas. My family has been so blessed this year, with our addition of the littlest O'viller and all. I'm looking forward to continuing some of the traditions we started last year, starting new traditions this year and watching the kids on Christmas morning. I'm looking forward to listening to Christmas music and going to the local Christmas parade. I'm looking forward to hanging all the stockings and adding a new one to the group this year. I'm looking forward to the looks on people's face as they open the gift that I sought out just for them. I'm looking forward to looking at all the Christmas decorations on other people's houses. I'm looking forward to our decorations inside and out. I just love Christmas time. People are nicer, more caring, more helpful. It's just the best time of year.




But the only true reason for the season is because it's a time of celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. He is the reason for the whole Christmas season.




So.. am I the only one ready to gear up for Christmas?



And lastly, for your viewing pleasure.. O'viller's

I'm with you girl! Seriously I've been debating getting my Christmas tree up this weekend, but it's just going to be a busy weekend so I don't think I'll be able to, but I WANT to! LOL I love Christmas. Love focusing on our Lord, love that we as a family have sweet traditions that my children look forward to.

Love that it gets colder, that I have a "reason" to make us all hot chocolate, cuddle up with a soft blanket, and enjoy the simple things!
