This time of year .

Yea,I know it's only a " dusting ", but it's one of the things people think of when they think of Christmas .

I was reading 2 of my good friends blogs and they posted a question about my favorite ornaments, so I thought I'd tell of some of my faves .

I remember in my house growing up, my mom had these two elves sitting on the tree and I thought they were weird, because unlike the other ornaments, they just sat there . Last year Kim was out doing some After Christmas shopping and she came across these two .


They were just like the ones my mom had and now I think they are way cool .

Two more of my favorite ornaments are some of the ones my kids made. I pray that we will have these for as long as I am on this earth, because I can't take them with me . That's another blog for another time .

To me they were so little and I never thought they would ever grow up . Silly me .


In closing, I would just like to remind you that without Jesus, Christmas would not exist . It seems in the last few years I've become sort of a " Humbug " type of character when it comes to Christmas because I believe that as a whole society has lost the TRUE meaning of CHRISTmas.
Keep the focus on the meaning and not the commercialism of Christmas
