This year we decided to take the giving a little lighter and in all especially the way the economy is currently... Cliff and I began with we weren't getting each other a thing, but going in together and getting a treadmill to help us both. Well we are still going with the treadmill idea, though we have both gotten each other things along the way. I decided if I didn't love my husband so much I wouldn't have done so, but I would truly miss the look on his face if I did get him a few things to open on Christmas morning.
Right now Cliff and I are trying to think of a tradition to start for our family. Seems simple, but we are having a few blocks in the road. I thought to open one present and get a new Christmas book each year and Cliff's idea was to buy a new ornament for our tree. Both great ideas we just can't decide is that is the TRADITON we want to carry on with one another.
We spent a day shopping together and it was lovely, though all the people did get on our nerves. We have one more gift to buy and it is a gift card, so quite easy!!!
More than anything I am blessed about the true meaning of Christmas and the birth of Christ. These days Christmas has been taken out and replaced with holidays and I think the main focus is to put Christ back into Christmas.
The church we have been attending and enjoy very much so, Central Fellowship, is having a Christmas prodcution on December 21, called "Christmas at Our Place." We are truly looking forward to this and hoping there is a huge turnout also. Monty, the preacher and his wife, Tamara, are great leaders in our community. We have enjoyed getting to know them and hopefully soon becoming a part of their church family at Central Fellowship. Please keep us in your prayers as God leads us toward finding the perfect fit for our church home!!!
