But mostly I love that Christmas is, of course, about the birth of our Savior Jesus.
I can't imagine what joy and yet what fear Mary and Joseph felt some 2000 Decembers ago. I love this part of the Christmas story in Luke 2:
"When they had seen Him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."
Today we celebrated Christmas with family... and a few puppies. My dear friend entrusted her dog to us this holiday season while she visits family in Colorado. So, her new baby puppy, appropriately named "Babies" spent his first Christmas with us.
I also love Christmas trees. I wish I had one in my house all year. This is one of my favorite Christmas ornaments because it is pretty antique. I just think it's neat, and I thought it was special because I really thought it was my grandmother's-- until today when my aunt said she really has no idea where that ornament came from. Oh well, I will put it on my tree each year and fondly remember my g-ma anyway.
Ben played outside with Babies since we experienced surprisingly warm weather today. He loved it, and later, while visiting Ben's parent's he played outside with their dog, Bert. Needless to say, an active morning.
When we got to my aunt's house for Christmas dinner I got to spend time with my puppy, Rigby. I love her, a lot... but she boards pretty permanently here at my aunt's home. She just celebrated her 8th birthday this month, and her little red face is turning gray. Sweet girl...
By the end of the evening, Babies and Rigby were both pretty tuckered out. A busy Christmas.
And since none were taken last year, I made Ben take a Christmas photo with me. Merry Christmas to all. (and to all, a good night).
