And even though many of us do remember, the hustle and bustle of Christmas activities can cause us to lose sight of the "reason for the season." One of our family traditions is going to the church service on Christmas Eve before we have our family celebration.<BR/><BR/>Glad you have a new someone special to celebrate Christmas with<BR/>this year.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-19524836658209040982008-12-17T05:50:00.000-08:002008-12-17T05:50:00.000-08:00I don't have a nativity scene, but like you, I thi...I don't have a nativity scene, but like you, I think people should remember why we celebrate Christmas. While I was a practicing Buddhist, I didn't have Christmas celebrations, because I thought that would be hypocritical of me. Now that I've returned to Christianity, I'm more focused than ever on what Christmas is supposed to be about. Sometimes I think we need a little break.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the lovely reminder of the reason for the season.

We do have a nativity we display every year. I bought it when my kids were babies. It's small and wooden so they could handle it. I'm on a quest now to buy a more elaborate one...<BR/>I keep saying Merry Christmas no matter how many Happy Holiday greetings I get :0) A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.com
