Merry Christmas 08

Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm writing this on the 24th for a head start since I know I won't have a chance to write anything tomorrow, but as I've neglected this blog for long enough, I want to keep it going. We got done with our Christmas shopping quite some time ago, so we were more than ready for today to come.

I know the princesses are quite excited, and we live vicariously through their excitement. Very little in this life makes me happier than to see them happy, and we always do everything in our power to make them stay that way. The whole economic downturn affected us only a little in so far as I lost the mega overtime I was getting, but our Christmas is going to be great.

Remember, of course, that today is the celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and whether you believe he was born on December 25th, or that this is really a carryover holiday from the Babylonian celebration of the winter solstace that was covered up by the early Catholic church to become a Christian holiday even though Jesus was probably born in September, I hope your Christmas is a joyful holiday all the same. To me, it's the meaning that matters, and I am grateful that we were given an eternal hope through the gift of his life.

Have a great day everyone, and a Merry Christmas.
