Here is a picture Deb took of me on Sat. after I took the cover off my snowmobile in my shed.
The first good snowstorms are wonderful , everything looks so clean and white outside and all the football games are wonderful getting to watch our favorite team make it to the Super Bowl .
Knowing in a about three weeks I will get some fun presents is also wonderful because I have been so good another year.
Getting to hear constant Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving is wonderful, maybe not so wondeful, ha,ha.
Shopping around town seeing everyone excited and in the buying mood is wonderful too, seeing them all smile as we pass by them.
Bill and Nicole coming home for Christmas is really wonderful this time of year, and getting to hear Bill talk about how many deer he has killed and how excited he is sharing his stories with us. And Nicole shares how many malls she has been too and the stories of how she got so many good bargains and saved so much money . That is all wonderful stuff and it’s great fun this time of the year.
But to me what is the most wonderful thing of all this time of the year is people think about Jesus more than any other time of the year. A very small percentage of non-believers complain the loudest this time of year, but for the most part it really is a wonderful time of the year for Christians.
Like the changing of seasons from fall to winter, the next three weeks many people will get closest to the people in church than any other time of the year. People tend to be nicer to everyone for the next three weeks . We think more about the troops and wish them well around the holidays and think more about their families and the sadness they are feeling. We think more about the poor and the homeless and try to help them .
This time of year reminds of us of our childhood and waking up Christmas Morning so excited. I still have the little boy inside me even at my age that gets excited every Christmas Morning and I am proud of that.
This is a crazy, mixed up world we seem to be living in these days. But around the Christmas Season the majority of people are nicer to each other. Christmas time brings the good out of most people.
More and more people are getting uneasy saying Merry Christmas , because they don’t want to offend anyone. People who are believers don’t hesitate at all about it and as all of you know where I stand on this , I’d like to say it’s looking good for A Wonderful White Christmas for us in Gaylord, Michigan
The bottom line is , what ever makes us at peace inside knowing today could be our last day on earth.
I still say Happy Holidays along with Merry Christmas and I always will. Have a Great Christmas Season with the ones you love
