I Love Christmas time!
December 6, 2007
Its a Pearcy family tradition to set up the tree, the train and decorate the house the weekend after thanksgiving. We look forward to it every year, and it seems to give us enough time to enjoy the season.
My son Skylar has been saying for weeks “I Love Christmas time”. His voice always has a special joy in it when he says that phrase, and I love hearing it. I love hearing it because it helps me remember that I love it too, and I need the reminder.
I need the reminder because all the other junk seems to take over. The lists, the duties, the church services, the pressure!
I love the excitement of the anticipation of Christmas. The same anticipation that we should all feel at being in the presence of Jesus. He is our gift.
Just a reminder.

I thought your blog left the country! Welcome back. Hope everything is going well down there. Ryan is enjoying Christmas too. He got himself an early present with his own money…a Ripstick. Has Skylar seen them? It’s like a skateboard and snowboard in one. Really cool. It’s the hit of our cul-de-sac.
