Dec. 12th

Yes, I know I skipped a day but what can you do.  Fridays are a very busy day for me.
So on to saturday.
Today I am putting up Christmas decorations and listening to Christmas music.  I love all the stuff that goes with Christmas.  I know not all of it comes from Christian traditions but I still love it.  It makes me think of family and my grandma.  My grandma loved Christmas.  She decorated like crazy, made homemade candy, put together the most amazing Christmas dinner.  Not to mention getting up before anyone else Christmas morning (which was hard with my brother and I anxiously waiting for presents) to make homemade cinnamon rolls.  Seriously.  She did not make them ahead of time.  She got up and made them fresh Christmas morning.  Every year.  I don't even know what time she got up.  Homemade bread takes time to raise.  They were always perfect.  The smells in her house were awesome.  She loved her family.  She took care of and spoiled us.
I wish I had taken the time to learn more from her when I had the chance.
Family, is one of the best things about Christmas!
