My new years resolution is to preserve my little girls memories of her first year. So this is our babies first Christmas. And even though she will be only a little over a month old and will not have any memories of this Christmas I could not resist spoiling her. Its too hard to resist baby stuff anyways. I will preserve the memories in a scrapbook and with our camcorder so one day she can look back and see what her first Christmas was like, if she wants to that is. I was looking out my window last night and noticed that only two people on our entire street strung up Christmas lights. I thought that was a little odd, even though I myself fall into that group that has no Christmas lights up this year. I was wondering where had everyones Christmas spirit gone. Then I thought about how busy we have been and how we have probably only plugged in the lights on our Christmas trees three or four times so far this year and it's the week of Christmas. Not only are we busy, but we simply could not even afford to put up lights outside our home this year. My hope is that even though to the outside passerby driving down our street that wonders where the lights are, I hope that inside our homes we each are seeing the light and remembering why we celebrate Christmas. It may sound cheesy, but I hope that we all can remember our Savior and the love that he has for each and everyone of us. And lets try to be a little more like Him this holiday season.
Seasons greetings from all of us to you!
