One more week before we head out to Oregon, and we are all very excited. It is starting to feel more like Christmas and I am loving it. I love Christmastime and the magic that is in the air. Having a kid makes it extra special because you get to experience everything for the first time again. Jet loves the Christmas lights and whenever I light the tree up, he does these cute little ooohs and ahhs. I also love that we get to reflect on the Savior, his birth and life for us. There is a lyric to a Christmas Carol that describes the Savior's birth as "when Love came down to the earth". I love that imagery and it is exactly what it was, God's love through the gift of his son, the Savior came for us. It is easy to get caught up in the sales and commercialism of the holiday, but we can all find ways to remember the Savior. Even as we give gifts, we can remember that the ultimate gift was given to us that night in Bethlehem. Have a great Christmas everyone!
