So when I write in my blog, I try to reflect on things. I would like to think about why I love Christmas so much.
There is just so much about it that is so beautiful and special. Lights, trees, decorations, mistletoe, snow.... Christmas movies. I just love how it feels to just be happy or joyous because it is Christmas. I know I could feel that way all year round, but I don't always. Family and friends coming together, awesome food. Just the fact that this one time of year people sing songs of a savior being born, and don't even realize the power in the lyrics. (and by that I mean they don't always know Jesus or the reason for the season) I hope that Christmas "spirit" can stay all year through!
There are certain songs I particularly love.
The ALABAMA Christmas album; I love this CD because my mom would always play it while we were decorating the Christmas tree. We always waited to put up an decorate our tree until Christmas eve! It was always so special!! and so Magical!!
With my dance class we would learn Christmas songs to dance to and a lot of times we would go and dance in Nursing homes in New Jersey for the holidays (I took dance lessons in New Jersey) We did some awesome dances.
I have to work Christmas this year, but it won't make me a Scrooge!
feel free to tell me why you love Christmas, or even if you don't you can tell me.
some of the things I love about Christmas:
ReplyDelete-the adoration service
-singing christmas carols (my fam usually sings them after we've decorated the tree and turns off all the lights, save the ones on the tree)
-giving/making gifts for people
-the pretty decorations
-SNOW! (maybe on the 2nd??)
-Oh Holy Night and Silent Night (my favorites)
I love that you danced in nursing homes for people--how sweet!
