Christmas Eve gift!

Dad nabbit, I was so snoozing until I had a muscle cramp.

Krl and I went into town for a brief time yesterday. Just a few items to pickup, and of course we wanted to eat.

Kohl's, Academy, Target, the mall, Wal-Mart, and Chili's!

We ordered the new mattress for the RV. We are so excited. They had my contour memory foam pillow in stock and I slept on it last night. If that is any indication of what the mattress will do for sleep, I may never get out of bed! In fact I had slept so hard when I woke I looked in the mirror just to make sure Krl hadn't been holding the pillow over my face!

Just kidding.

We have Addie's Christmas loaded up in the SUV. Kat's is bagged or wrapped and sitting in the trailer. The grand boys things still wait for wrapping.

My sincerest sympathy goes out to Theo Scott's family. Mrs. Scott left this world yesterday at the age of 97. She was quite a woman.

Christmas is on us once again.

I think back to growing up in a church that worked so hard not to recognize or celebrate Christmas. It was almost like those efforts not to were almost better than if they had celebrated.

My thoughts are simple on this matter. If you believe in Christ's death and resurrection, you have to believe in his birth. For if there is no beginning there can be no end, meaning no hope for us.

I will say that Christmas has become distorted and way to commercial. I can't help but think the Wise Men's gift giving was much simpler.

Be safe. Have a day!

FATHER, Oh, Holy night!
