Let’s be brutally honest here…Christmas can be down right exhausting! In every way. Physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and financial. We have things and people pulling us in all directions so it is essential that we make the effort to bring Christ into our hearts and homes this Christmas before it claims our joy.

Comparing Christmas
One thing you won’t find me doing is comparing my Christmas to someone else’s. I can confidently say that to you. Thankfully, my traditions outweigh any time for that kind of nonsense and I want yours to do the same! Comparison is crippling and the thief of joy. Oh, friend, what a waste it isContinue reading “Comparing Christmas”
Prepare Him Room
It has become a race to see how quickly Christmas can hit our stores, our televisions and social media. Some years it is received with a nice big gut punch of anxiety and other years it can be a blissful welcome into our festive little souls. I will admit that I had my first pumpkinContinue reading “Prepare Him Room”
Christmas Count Down
We love counting down the days to Christmas in this house. We have advent two ways. A Chocolate advent calendar is one of then. We always had one growing up. One year mama couldn’t find chocolate so we had tiny little toys in each window. It was very odd and we were ready to rushContinue reading “Christmas Count Down”

Santa Claus Came To Town
Santa came and came big. Before he came we had to soak up the real meaning of Christmas. We went to church on Christmas Eve and Nana and Papa came in time to go with us. We got to sing and light glow sticks…Henry loved it! He got to go in the service with usContinue reading “Santa Claus Came To Town”
Mama’s Family Christmas
Christmas with Mama and Julie is always a huge highlight at Christmas. We do it a little early now that we have Henry and choose to be home on Christmas.

All Aboard The Choo Choo Train
We all headed “home” for Christmas last week. Riding the train at the park during Christmas is always a fun family outing for us. This year we were so glad it was not as cold as it has been in years past. It was cold enough for it to be festive and that was great.Continue reading “All Aboard The Choo Choo Train”
Christmas Snapshots
Christmas means getting in the truck and traveling to see family who live afar. Sharing the season with them is what makes this special season so special.
