Once Upon a Time...

Once upon a time there was a family who decided that this year, they wanted a freshly cut CHristmas tree! It was already known that this would be an adventure, every Christmas movie that has a family cutting down a tree is always halarious. As you can see from the terrain, this family didn't find there perfect tree until they were many km's into the forrest, (or the Christmas tree farm!). They searched high and low, deep and wide, analyzing the trees, their colour, height, fullness, smell etc... It was almost as bad as going to the movie store to pick out a movie with 6 people. But then, uncle Joe and Daniel found the perfect tree. It smells great, is a perfect colour, and now full of our decorations we have acquired over the years! It is sitting right in our living room! I really actually can't believe that Christmas has come so soon! Now it is here and I can just enjoy the festivities, but this year I have been so reminded through songs and people of Jesus' birth. I know it sounds simple, but it makes me excited for heaven! During Christmas carols like O Holy night and what child is this and O Come all ye faithful I picture Jesus in the manger with Mary and Joseph, the shephards and wisemen all around him, and get excited for heaven when that will be us celebrating. (That is a random thought from my thoughts!). Merry Christmas!
