OK! Christmas is coming way to fast. We still have gifts to wrap and purchase, cookies to bake, and even a few gifts for the ladies to finish making. Oh shoot, I just remembered two more gifts we have to get. OK now this whole gift giving thing is starting to get a little carried away. Why do we feel like we have to keep topping the previous years gifts? What happened to the homemade gifts that cost almost nothing but really came from the heart? Don't people enjoy those more? I know I do. Plus Christmas isn't even about the gifts. Where does God come into play this CHRISTmas season? Can you imagine how much money we would save and less debt we would all be in if we just remembered that the real reason for Christmas is the Birth of our Lord, not "Santa". Don't get me wrong its a cute concept for the kiddos (plus mom still thinks we "believe" or our stockings wouldn't be filled each year, even Keith's banking in on the stocking) but lets not forget the true meaning!! So as I sit here listening to the Christmas jingles and wishing I was at home baking my Christmas sugar cookies, I challange you all to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.

Ok, I'll get off my little soap box now! This is just a forewarning to all our followers, we will do our best to check in before Christmas but no guaranties. The Chaos has begun! We love you all. Talk to you soon!
