Memories of Christmas

Winter time is here again in North Texas! I have to admit that this time of year is hardest for me because I am not a big fan of cold weather, dead landscapes or rainy days! It makes me not want to go outdoors and I find myself wanting to be lazy which is never a good thing. The idea of running in the cold takes some will power and more clothes too!
Now I love Christmas, decorating the house and being focused on the birth of Christ as well as time to enjoy with friends and family. That part makes me smile and think back on many blessed Christmases in the past! So with determination to be full of cheer this time of year in my heart, I am going to blog about some happy memories of Christmas as often as I can between now and Christmas!
Today's simple memory that stands out to me is sitting with my family in our living room watching the tree lights flashing on the ceiling and talking about Jesus. We always had a live tree with tons of multicolored lights that flashed in random patterns. You could watch for hours as the tree branch shadows flickered on the ceiling and we laughed and talked about why Christmas was so wonderful! That memory has me smiling right now!
