Up until a few years ago our family would meet at my mom and dad's home to celebrate Christmas and have our gift exchange. We would go to the evening service at church and exchange gifts afterwards. I didn't always go to church myself but as it is the church my mom and dad belonged too and our family has the services broadcast on our local radio station. So I would turn it on while I got things ready for the exchange. So for me Christmas has that special time with family. Several years ago My mom passed away and as you know my dad passed away earlier this year. Though I'm sad that my parents aren't here for Christmas, still I hope to share the spirit still. My gf and I moved into my mom and dad's home last year shortly before Christmas. I'm in the process of buying my siblings share of the house. I'm hoping to have a celebration of sorts tomorrow just like our long tradition of get togethers. For me Christmas has always been not only the celebration of the birth of the Christ but also the love and sharing of family. Is it for you too? Merry Christmas!
