Christmas!

This week, I've been helping my mom put out a bunch of our Christmas decorations, and I realized something. My family has so many Christmas traditions! It's always someones year to-put baby Jesus in the manger of the nativity set, pick out the Christmas tree, open the first present, etc. We also have at least one person at our table who needs a place to be on Christmas. Some years we have heard stories ranging from heroic battle stories to   romantic "how-we-met" stories. Another tradition we have is reading the Christmas story from Matthew on Christmas Eve, and then again before Christmas dinner, but this time from the book of Luke. I love hearing all the details of our Saviour's birth by candle light, surrounded by friends and family. I hope and pray that you have a blessed and wonderful Christmas wherever you are!
Here are a few of my favorite Christmas songs/carols for you to enjoy!

Just a little something...

Today I realized an awesome thing. God knew what I would be going through right now, before I was born, before my parent's were born, and etc.!!! What an amazing, yet confusing thought. He knows EVERYTHING!! 
I have been called a know-it-all before, just because I enjoy history and random facts of knowledge, but in fact, I am the daughter of THE know-it-all! That is just totally amazing!
