Merry Christmas!
As I write this, I am thinking of all of the different pieces that make up Christmas. There are trees, Santa, presents, elves, family, parties, stockings, toys, bows, bells, mangers, wreaths, sleigh rides, and Jesus. There are two that are the most important to me, Jesus and family. What a savior we have in Jesus! Remember Him and the real reason we celebrate Christmas this season. And through all of the different parties we go to, the ones with family are the most important. It's fun to look back on those moments when the kids eat nothing but sugar, grandpa is overly worried about the light on the roaster going off, mom is making sure everything gets done, a quiet hug is shared with dad, brother shows up to help unexpectedly, and cousins share in laughter. Whatever those moments are in your family, cherish them.
These centerpieces were for a family holiday celebration with my grandpa's side of the family. There were seven original siblings and we were figuring that there were well over 100 people in four generations in attendance. To have such a large family and so many of them in one place at the same time is a blessing.
