We've already been to our community's "Christmas in the Park" celebration on the 1st and a neighboring community's "Spirit of Christmas" celebration on the 7th. At church, the kids' Christmas program will be next Sunday morning, and on the evening of the 23rd, we'll be caroling throughout the community and having a fellowship time afterward, and then the Christmas Eve candlelight service the next night.
Christmas afternoon will be spent with my wife's family, and we'll get together with my side of the family probably the following weekend. And throughout the season, we'll be rejoicing in the true Gift of Christmas, remembering that why He came into our world will be celebrated more fully at the Easter holy-days.
