Christmas Preparation
I can’t believe Christmas is almost here again. I feel pretty good about it though. This year I went with quality gifts instead of quantity. I ordered Cade’s gift first and judging by the “shape” of it, he “knows” what it is… but what he doesn’t know is that he’s way off :o) I think he’s going to love it! I also got him 2 other gifts (practical), but I know he’s going to use the second one a lot so I can’t wait til he opens that one too! As for my mom’s gift - I went for a gift that is just for her. She’ll be able to put it in her room and just relax on it. “Mums” the word, but it’s a chaise lounge, berry red in color. She just mentioned the other night how she’d love a place to just go and read… and since her bed isn’t comfortable to read on, a lounge will be just up her alley. I can’t wait til it’s put together and ready for her. I also got her some kitchen stuff to make her cooking easier. I was a little late on the whole dad gift cause I wanted to make sure I purchased the absolute best trail cam; one with all the features easy enough and price sensible enough. .I did my research on them and found one today. Should come in 5ish days. I just need to buy an SD card for it. Since he doesn’t have a computer, this camera hooks up to the tv so he’s able to see his pics without even monkeying with the memory card. I also got him a handy man gift as well.
The only ppl I have left to buy for are Cade’s parents. I think I’ll just do a gift certificate or something like that… a gift for the both of them. Maybe a goodie basket. Anyway, it’s nice to celebrate Christmas for the first time in this new house. My tree is up and on every night. I love just sitting and looking at it. I also but some decorations up in the living as well. It’s cozy.
I’m also looking forward to reading the Christmas story this year. I’ve read it before on Christmas Eve a few times, but never made it into a “tradition” and I think it should be. After all, it’s how Christmas began and I think we ought to keep Christ in Christmas. I look forward to be reading it to my family someday in this house. I think about that a lot.
Ok, just rambling on and on above so I’ll be getting on my way. God Bless!
