It was a beautiful Christmas morning here. Snow on the ground and screams of happiness from the moment the kids awoke. I worried a lot about Christmas this year. I didn't want to disappoint the kids, but I knew we couldn't spend our money on frivilous gifts.Today I am grateful for the dear loving Santa's in my life who supplied our Christmas. My husband and I bought 1 gift, the rest of our generous Christmas was donated to our family by loving friends and family.
I'm not sure people can comprehend how overwhelming and wonderful and humbling it is to be helped out in time of need. I'm not good with words, so that is about as good as I can explain it. I'll leave it at that and just put out a huge THANK YOU to all of you for your prayers and love.
Its not about the gifts... its about Christ. I think my kids "got" that this year more than any other. So did I.

I know I'm a little late, but Merry Christmas. I'm glad to hear that Santa found you this year. I love the miracles that happen at Christmas time and I can't think of anyone better for them to happen to. Keep smiling and may 2009 bring lots of happiness.
