10 Awe-inspiring Reasons for December 25

  1. Christmas, the reason for the season
  2. Wake up to see what Santa brought in your stocking
  3. Empty stocking and admire what's in there from Santa
  4. Have cup of coffee and start opening presents from under the tree with someone playing Santa delivering presents to you
  5. Watch everyone open their gifts
  6. Play with all things new that we got for Christmas
  7. Eat a small lunch to hold you over for Christmas dinner and work in a nap
  8. Get everything ready for dinner (turkey breast in the crock pot since 7:00am, Michael's famous stuffing, greenbean casserole, pumpkin pie, rolls, gravy)
  9. Eat that fabulous meal and enjoy the rest of the evening with the family
  10. I thank my Mother and Father for bringing me up with the knowledge of the real reason for Christmas. What beautiful memories I have with all of the Christmas' with all of us hearing the Bible story each Christmas and singing Christmas carols, one of my favorite one follows:
Away in a Manger

Away in a manger

No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
