We are already in the month of December. Its crazy how fast time flies the older I get; I still feel like Simon and I are newlyweds and we are already in our fourth year. It is unbelievable that we are to begin a new year so soon when we just welcomed 2009.
Although I never wish for time to fly bye, this is definitely my favorite time of the year. I love having the family together and listening to the Christmas music on the radio. The air is cool and crisp and the thought of snow is so exciting... even though here in Georgia it is very rare to have snow, just the thought makes me feel as though I am a child.
Christmas as a child is so magical and adventurous. The thought of Santa Clause coming down the chimney with presents in his bag was so exciting. I use to look for Rudolphs glowing nose out the car window and the mere thought of getting coal in the stocking and no presents ensured being good all year long so I wouldn't get on the naughty list.
Now that I do not get to sit on Santas lap or wake up in the morning to see what Santa left for me I am still just as excited because I began a new tradition 4 years ago as I am now a wife and I get to celebrate the birth of our Savior with the love of my life. There is no greater present than the love between a husband and wife and the Love we share with our God.
I can not wait until the day I get the chance of having a family of my own and seeing the look on their faces when they walk into our living room and see what Santa has brought them and to share with them the true meaning of Christmas and see their faith grow and the excitement fill thier hearts all throughout the season.
For now I get to enjoy the holiday with my Simons family and my family. I get the joy of watching my nephew, Dylan (almost 2), light up when he gets excited about seeing the Christmas Tree, the joy of spending the day with both of my grandmothers as I have the best Nanny's in the world, and I get the joy of seeing those I love together, laughing, and happy.
Although the happiness which fills our hearts during the Christmas Season we never forget the ones who have passed on and who have impacted our lives. My grandfather, My uncles, Simons grandmother, and others are all missed but are never forgotten; For the greatest gift of all was Jesus Christ and because of him we get the greatest gift of all- ETERNITY IN HEAVEN! And those who have left us have Christmas everyday!
I wish everyone has a Merry Christmas and that we all create new memories to go along with those of the past!
Merry Christmas, 2009!!!!
