This time of year has always been my favorite. Red cheeks, red nose, scarves, hot chocolate, wrapping paper everywhere, tree lit up with twinkling lights and mama cooking in the kitchen.
But of course, this isn't what Christmas is only about.
It's about a young mother, probably scared and unsure, bringing our Redeemer into the world.
And it's humbling as you get older to really think that He descended below them all and was born in a barn. Not a glorious sparkling palace, the place he deserved to be born into. He had to experience everything, for us.
I'm so grateful for the message this holiday season of Christ giving us the greatest gift we could ever receive: eternal life.
I'm excited to have my family over and make sugar cookies {one of our traditions} and read a Christmas story before bed. Listening to Christmas music and drinking apple cider and joking around. Then in the morning, in all our gorgeousness, we see what Santa brought us :)
I can't wait!
