Christmas is Coming

“Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat.

If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do.
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then God Bless you!
God Bless you!”

I love that Christmas is this week. Last Saturday, we spent the day with our neice and nephew and their family. What a wonderful day! We sang Christmas carols, we shared past Christmas experiences, and we just enjoyed being together.

Being together is what Christmas is about. My husband and I drove down with our grandchildren in our car. It was delightful. Jakob read to us and I worked on a presentation. We talked and enjoyed the journey together. It was a long drive and at the end, everyone was happy to have arrived.

We shared a meal, swam (the brave ones, but not me. It was too cold for me). When it was time to go, it was hard for the children to say goodbye. But, we know that we will have many more glorious days to spend with them while they live so close.

Christmas is about love. Love from our Heavenly Father to send our Savior. Love from our Savior to make it possible for us to repent and return to live with Heavenly Father. Love from family and friends as we share time, talents and gifts with one another.

Christmas is coming…Are you ready?
