I believe


This Christmas is just an utter joy for me. Here are a few reasons why:

1.) I talked to my dad on Saturday and am going to see him in the next week, he is in Indiana until January sometime.

2.) I feel blessed this year looking at the gifts under the tree

3.) The Lord has richly blessed me with a overall healthy year

4.) This is my second year as a married woman.

5.) My husband and I will be starting our own Christmas Traditions this year

6.) I am glad that I believe in Jesus, for now there is a reason for the season

7.) I am thankful for Mary and Josephs sacrifices to bring my King into this world

8.)We will be attending the candlelight Christmas Eve service at Church tomorrow night

9.)Last but not least, the children at Kiddie Kollege are excited that Santa will be here tomorrow night.


It has been interesting listening to the innocence of each child talking about Santa. Today many students made reindeer food, made their Christmas wishes, and spoke of all that they will be doing for Christmas. As I was in the midst of the children, I began to think back of when I found out that my parents were the wonderful Santa. Here's how it happened:

My family use to let us open a gift the last 12 days of Christmas, so one year I opened a Slinky Christmas Eve. I remember being in the bedroom with my sister, waiting so patiently to hear Santa on the roof top. We would look out the window every so often to make sure that we didn't miss him. I believe that I had to go to the bathroom, get a drink, something to see if Santa had came down the chimney yet. As I was in the hallway, I heard my parents talking in the Living room and there all of our Christmas gifts were being sorted in the living room in our special spot. Wow all those years of momma kissing Santa Claus:)


How did you find out about Santa's nonexistence?


Merry Christmas! Jesus is the Reason for the Season!
