Do you love Christmas? I do, too! So join me, and I hope you find this as much fun as I do. If you are looking for new traditions to start with your family, or wish to reminisce on lovely memories, I will try to have something on the pages to kindle the warmth and spark the joy of Christmas.
Rejoicing, building peace, renewing hope. These are all a part of the message that is Christmas. I think that is why so many love it so. I hope you will find the golden and fragrant gift of its center, as well. That is Jesus: a real person with a real love for each of us.
