Christmassy Things


trimming the tree with Christmas records playing
cozy Christmas parties with family members you don't often see
the childlike giddiness you feel when you see your name on a present under the tree
making homemade gifts for your loved ones


watching all your family's favorite Christmas movies
driving through your neighborhood at night and seeing all of the festive decorations
sipping delicious hot chocolate on a chilly night
eating far more than is good for you ;P


bright white lights gleaming from the dark green branches of an evergreen tree
(or colored lights--whichever you prefer!)
waking up bright and early on December 25, opening gifts with Christmas tunes playing softly in the background


films like A Charlie Brown Christmas, White Christmas, It's A Wonderful Life, and The Sound of Music
candles shining in neighbors' windows and wreaths hanging on front doors
shopping for your family and friends
singing beautiful Christmas hymns like "The First Noel" at church


celebrating Jesus' birth in a manger all those many years ago
reflecting on His incredible, unfathomable love for us
thanking Christ for coming down to suffer and die for our sins
so that we could live in His perfect freedom, peace, and joy


Happy December, everyone!
Molly
