Title?

First, I can't think of a catchy title so there isn't one. It's not as if I'm writing a book or something truly important. Merely posting a long over due update to my blogg. So here goes, sort of......
We're going into December - the Christmas season. I've always loved the holidays - it's such a wonderful time of year. Although the shopping makes everyone crazy and some of the rudeness nearly pushes me over the edge, in general people are nicer. A softness seems to come over them - smiles you don't normally see - sometimes even a cordial greeting. My brother recently posted a comment on Face Book about keeping Christ in Christmas and I couldn't agree with him more. The gifts and the shopping and the decorations, oh how we all love them. But where does the 'niceness' of the season come from? Why do nasty, unhappy, sour people seem to soften for about one month out of the year? Excuse me, it's His birthday - and I think Christ has a way of coming into the hearts of even the toughest people. They seem to realize that it really is a special time - a time to remember - a time to reflect - and a time to love one another. It's Christ's birthday and He wants us to be nice to each other - to love each other as He loves each and everyone of us. We need to hold each other close in or hearts - and we need to hold Him even closer in our hearts and in our souls.

On a side note - I'm changing jobs as of Dec 7. It's been a while coming and I'm excited at the new opportunity. I'm also extremely excited to be eliminating my 2 hour (minimum) round trip daily commute. Yep, I'll be driving over to Palmer every day now. That's about 15 minutes. I won't be traveling the Glenn Hwy - and that makes me so very happy!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was great - very low key and relaxing.

More to come.........love you all!
