I've been sick for about a week now and I finally felt better to get up and decorate the Christmas tree. We have six popcorn tins filled ornaments so it was quite the undertaking (wait until my mom decorates the entire living room). Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the years besides Thanksgiving. Its also a great time to be with loved ones. As you can no doubt guess I love my family very dearly. Our traditions over the past years included not putting names on the outside of the presents, but on the inside to make the gift of giving more fun. When my nieces and nephews got older we changed this so that they could find the ones they wanted, but they still delight in opening all the presents. Despite the change of traditions one thing remains the same. Christmas has always been centered on Christ, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
