I Love Christmas.
My best friend in the southwest taught me a new way of celebrating birthdays.
She celebrates the entire month in which she was born, rather than restricting it to a one day of celebration.
She honors herself with luncheons, cards, gifts, and phone calls every day throughout her birthday month. If a gift arrives in the mail, she opens it immediately rather than wait until her actual birthday.
The result of making a birthday a month-long celebration is 31 days of joy and merriment instead of just one day!
Because I love the idea of celebrating a birthday for a whole month, I do it at Christmas time in rememberance of the Baby Jesus’ birthday.
I start decorating the entire house right after Thanksgiving. Every single day of December, something that pertains to Christmas gets done. This includes shopping, wrapping, baking, cooking, writing cards, mailing, and so on.
The Santa figures shown in this post are from an ever expanding army who have taken up residence in our house. Ho ho ho
Despite the busyness of the season, it’s exhilerating.
It's also important to take time to sit quietly in peace during this month, too. It's nice to contemplate on the birth of Sweet Baby Jesus Boy.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT CHRISTMAS?
