Christ Mass

So I was watching the History Channel the other day and there was a show about the history of Christmas. The actual name Christmas came from Christ Mass which occurred December 25th, so it was shortened to Christmas.

I went to church last night with my sister and her boyfriend and Mark, one of our pastors, was talking about not forgetting about what this day actually means. Christmas is not just about presents and santa clause, it is the day our savior came. "the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us" I felt really convicted because it is so difficult to see the holiday as a celebration of Christ, not presents.

This morning my family woke up early to open presents. I really liked my presents like my new sewing machine! , my fave green tea and a new one year chronological bible to name a few. After we opened presents here my mom, brother and I drove up to Kenbridge to see my Grandma and Pa. My Grandma made me a recipe book and put some of her amazing recipes in it and I am soooo excited.

This Christmas showed me that I have a calling as Suzy Homemaker, I mean I got a sewing machine and recipes, what else could that mean ha ha?

I also decided yesterday to serve on Summer Staff next summer, which I am very excited about! Updates on that to come !

Merry CHRISTmas To All and To All A Good Night!!!!
