So I haven't seemed to appreciate Christmas the last few years. I know a lutheran who doesn't appreciate Christmas....let me explain. I don't like the commercialness stressful part of any holiday. Whyyyyyy do people put themselves through all the stress for something that last like 2 hours. So the good points of the holiday. Christmas eve the family gathered around a baby swaddled in Paton Manning jersey. Appropriate. Christmas eve continued with a lovely candle lit service which I tried not to cry out my candle. Luke singing Silent Night got to me. Sleeping on my parent's couch was interesting. Lucy came down stairs and tried to get her treats out of her stocking a couple times. I was exhausted and at one point my dad snuck down stairs to put a suprise present in my mom's Christmas stocking. A man with a white beard appeared with a present. Faith in Santa restored! Christmas morning was good we called Jake for being late, yes, 4 minutes is still late. Hollie is a BAMF. She wrapped Whitney's gift card in a lot of yarn then more yarn then wrapping paper. Whitney was pissed but it was hilarious to the rest of us. Hollie out did herself beating the wrapping paper gift card extraveganze 2009. All said and done it was nice to hang out with the family.
Amen
