By the next time we post on the blog site, it will be on the lead up to New Years. My how this year has flown by. Just last week (or so it seems) we were at Vent Haven ConVENTion. Where does time go? And every year goes a little quicker than the one before.
Anyway, it is now the most anticipated time of the year, and next week we will be leaving a plate full of cookies out for the jolly fat man. (I really love that part because they all have to be gone before morning. Hmmmmmm.
We are big Christmas folks around here. We start the day on the 25th by sitting down with each other and continuing a long family tradition that began in my childhood. We gather around the tree and (when I was small) Dad would open up his well worn Bible to the second chapter of Luke. He is gone now but I can still hear his voice, “And it came to pass in those days that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be . . . “
From there we got to quietly hear the entire Christmas story from start to finish. Precious memories of early Christmas’s. Now we try to help the next generation(s) get to enjoy the same traditions. We never tire of that story.
As we go into next week we want each of you to know that we have great hopes that each and every one of you will also establish warm memories on that day.
Merry Christmas,
Steve and JET
