Christmas was story-book like this year. Although we had no snow, it was a peaceful, joyous, Christ-centered celebration. My favorite part was listening to the music at Council Road. The church may have changed a lot since I was a child, but the music is the same-- sincere, beautiful and spirit-filled. A woman sang a song in Spanish and it really touched me. God meets every one of the needs of my family. Rodolfo was really missing his parents and brother and sister this Christmas. Hearing this song, sung in his language, helped to fill a little of the emptiness I know he felt. Georgia perked up too and listened to the song intently. It was really nice. And, on another note, Santa was a big hit this year too. Georgia was completely excited about his arrival. We sprinkled "reindeer food" out on the lawn so the reindeer would know where to land. It was a mixture of crushed up Fruit Loops and glitter. We made Santa cookies and she drew him a special picture (see above). Santa obliged by bringing many items from her wish list, including a Barbie wedding dress (most wanted item), a nativity set, some books and, ehem, undies. :) I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas too! Merry Christmas!
