We have been preparing for Christmas a little at a time for the past couple weeks. Got the outside lights up earlier, Christmas cards in the mail, gifts purchased, packages shipped, and nativity set on the piano. Whew! My sister came over today and helped us put up the Christmas tree. We sang a little to the Christmas music that was playing. I even baked some cookies while it was being decorated. We had fun and it is so nice to have the tree up. Looking at it tonight with the twinkling lights, my dad described it as comforting. He is right. There is just a certain feeling at Christmas time unlike any other time of the year.

I Found God today in the comfort of Christmas.
