yesterday i was trying to convey to someone that i was excited for christmas. this was via text to my neighbor (long story). i was hesitant to just say i was excited for christmas, because i didn't want her to think that i was excited for presents.....
i think most people recognize that there is more to christmas than gifts, but i've heard plenty of things that indicate that some people think that some people like christmas because they like getting presents. i know this isn't everybody.
can't i like christmas because i like the music, food, stories, family time, memories, decorations, etc? most of all, i like to read, hear, learn, and think about and celebrate the birth of Christ, the Lord. i remember my favorite scripture story video when i was a kid was "the one where baby Jesus was born."
so i told her i was excited for the christmas season.
and i am : ) we're putting out our decorations this weekend!!
good thing tomorrow starts december!! at preschool they say the next month is "christmas." it will be easier to talk about that one next week...
