I just wanted to tell you all Merry Christmas!

I want to also add this:

A long time ago- I wanted to make a family tradition of putting our gifts in a manger- not under a tree.

At the time- it was a choice of just wanting to teach my children what Christmas was truly about.


God gave us the ultimate gift on Christmas....

It was the gift of a savior.

He placed his gift in a crib....a trough....not under a lighted tree...

Last year- I gave away 2 artificial trees.....this year- things were tight....I could not have afforded a tree- if I wanted one....but God was so GREAT and faithful....

my son has gone to Pennsylvania for Christmas-- to be with his dad....

Travis has joined us this year...

but tomorrow- I will get to see Travis, and my girls have gifts....but in a crib....and to teach Travis what I have taught my children...

in the past-- I have signed gifts from "Jesus" or "God"..

but this year-- as I sign the gifts from God, and Jesus...it has a deeper meaning than it ever has before...

if not for God- not only would be gifts be bare...but the real gift of God would not be given the glory He deserves...

I hope all of this makes sense...

Thanks to each of you...and may god bless you as much as he has blessed my family this year...

God Bless you, eeevil.

I am very proud of you taking in Travis as you have..and dong the radio gig.

I pray that you and your family have a wonderful, blessed Christmas.

It sounds like you have a very beautiful tradition.
