And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,
and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
~ Luke 2:7
10 Reasons Why I Love Christmas...
10. I love the Christmas traditions. A few favorites are the Williams Family Christmas party and attending concerts together.
9. Spending time with family. What could be better!
8. I like (not love) shopping. I actually enjoy trying to find the perfect gift for whoever I'm shopping for. I don't mind being out in the mall with all the chaos. I went shopping last Friday with my friend Billie and I am actually ALL done! I like to shop for the people I love. I enjoy letting them know how much I appreciate them.
7. Lights. The soft glow of Christmas lights makes me feel all warm and cozy inside.
6.The sense of "magic" in the air...Christmas has always made me think the best of people and that "all is right with the world" even if it isn't.
5. Getting holiday cards. I love seeing updated pictures of all my friends and family. People are so creative today, especially my nieces Kennan and Brooke!
4. Decorations. Ornaments, poinsettias, my collection of Santa's (I have over 30)... I love it all!
3. Baking. As if I need another reason to make cookies or cakes!
2. The music. Tim and I especially enjoyed hearing the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing "Oh Holy Night" at the concert this year!
1. The birth of Jesus Christ... My Savior. I am so blessed to have such great friends and family. I have a wonderful husband, 2 amazing sons and a sweet daughter-in-law. I know that the love and happiness I feel would not be possible without the gospel of Jesus Christ. The life I live now is all because of His saving grace in my life.
