I chose an outfit at random for today and added these pics I took this week of a bird in the red berry tree I drive by every morning to give this post a more Christmas-y feel. Obviously I didn't have time to take any photos today with all the preparation that goes into such an important day. No, it won't be a white Christmas this year, as usual. And no, I won't get my kids everything they wanted. And, no, my time spent with family won't be perfect. But, none of that really matters. What matters most today is that I spend time with family. They are loved, truly and unconditionally loved by me, and each of them knows it beyond any doubt. After all, the weather is the weather and stuff is just stuff. And family, God bless them, are really just a bunch of weirdos I share DNA with and choose to love no matter what and who thankfully feel the same way about me. So, today, on Christmas, I will sit back and let all those things that don't matter fade into the background, while holding tight all the things, and more importantly the people, that truly do matter. This is my prayer for you on this day, that you would be warm, and safe, and surrounded by people you love and who love you. And in the midst of all your celebrating, take a moment to breathe a prayer of thanks for all you have.
Merry Christmas
