Christmas!

Well there are only 11 more shopping days until Christmas!!

Last night we put our tree up (twice! It fell down) and I have begun to feel festive. Not just that but the Christmas party season starts with the football social tomorrow night - always great fun!!

I really do love the whole Christmas season, everyone seems happier, life is more joyous and most people really enter the festive spirit. Not just that but you really think about what is most important to you.

Above all though we get to celebrate the gift of life!! That a God that loves us gave us his son, lived life as a human and tasted everything that is bitter and sweet about being a human so that He could show us that he knows what it is like to feel joy, pain, love and sorrow.

I hope that you have a great Christmas and that it is a time of joy and happiness, but I also hope that in between the food, drink and your neighbours Christmas lights that you are able to take the time to think about the gift that this loving God offers you.

Merry Christmas
