I do not get into the holiday spirit easily. This idea of spending less and giving more, I love it! Well the spending less part anyway. For several years I have just not gotten into the pressure of buying gifts. I guess a few people are disappointed. But I figure I give all year round. Em. Some people probably disagree.
I figure DW likes to shop, let her buy her own gifts. Seriously.
Wednesday I went to see a Christmas concert. I plan to see another one Saturday night. It has helped. I will participate in a Lessons and Carols service Sunday night. Some years I sing without even really feeling anything different. It probably doesn't matter but I feel better if I get into an expectant mood, remembering the baby Jesus, God born as a baby. Or I can think about his coming again to bring in God's promised kingdom. Peace and goodwill to all.
We sang carols at Life Group. There have been lots of opportunities this year.
Sadly we will probably not carol in the neighborhood. There are just three of us and DD is not home many nights. I am very sad about that.
I think from guilt mostly I started a Christmas letter. I also asked DW and DD what they wanted for Christmas. I think I left them speechless. It took a while to get a response.
