And snow. And snow. And snow.
Merry Christmas! We have an official blizzard warning in effect until Saturday morning. Cool, huh? Much different from Christmas in Vegas. (I think it was mostly cool because we didn’t have to go anywhere – if we’d needed to go anywhere, it would have been a total mess.)
Today was my first Christmas home since 2005. What a fantastic time! I had forgotten how much fun it is to have brothers and sisters wake you up at 6am because they are so excited Christmas is finally here. (Since I’m a morning person, the whole 6am thing is not quite such a big deal. Except when I stay up until 2am the night before. Which I did. But that is beside the point.)
I love that we all get together and laugh. We love each other. And our whole house is filled with the laughter and love the whole time. No material possession in the entire world can substitute for that kind of love. Christmas is a time when it becomes a little easier to remember to show that love. Just think about it – it’s the time when we celebrate the birth of the Savior of the World. I’m amazed when I think about His sacrifice for all of us. Over the past year, I feel like I’ve become a lot closer to Him. It’s a relationship I plan on continuing for the rest of my life.
