The weather outside is frightful but it?s not snowing. We are getting sheets of rain pouring down on us. Ah, if only it was snow! We?d be snowed in for the weekend and that?s not too terrible ? not to me. The grandkiddies will be here soon. We?re watching them so that Michelle and David can do some Christmas shopping.
When I was younger, my parents, my brother and I used to ride around neighborhoods looking for lights. It was a nice way for us to spend Christmas Eve, looking at all the lights. I?ve always been gaga over lights. When I was all grown up, my family and I would go to a ?Festival of Lights? type display. It cost about $15 to ride through several acres of these gigantic and very beautiful holiday lights.
For years, my family and I would go to Christmas Eve service. I loved them, loved the dim lighting from flickering candles, the voices of the congregation singing Christmas hymns and just the sense of love and joy all around me.
TB and I are about done as we are ever going to be in terms of Christmas shopping. We wrapped the last of the packages this morning.
I?m sorry that it?s so wet and miserable out but that?s not going to spoil my day!
