We really do love Christmas at our house!!! All the decor is up, and we're enjoying the sparkle of the lights and candles and the Christmas spirit that's roaming around here....
For any of those wondering.... this our actual tree. But you can see why I got the pics confused, right??.....
Zion & Paige were a HUGE help with getting the house ready for Christmas!! They both love all the lights, and even more, they love to get their hands on them....
OUTSIDE.....
Our porch and two bushes (I think you can only see one from this angle), with COLORED lights and garland on them.... It looks SO pretty!!
This is the wreath hanging on our door--I made it!!:)
Here's our little tin snowman sitting in front of the mailbox. He's buried!!!
MOST IMPORTANTLY..... The Nativity Scene
Let's not forget what this season is really all about.... With all the decorating, shopping, programs, parties and gifts, it's easy to get distracted from the true meaning... Christmas is simply about the first 6 letters of the word itself--Christ. God gave us His Son, Jesus Christ, an indescribable, uncomparable gift. Do we really fully understand what it meant for God to do that? What it meant for Jesus to put on human flesh and live among us, and not only that to die FOR us? What it means for us that God made the ultimate sacrifice? I pray all of us will remember what Christmas is truly all about this year.... Don't let the distractions overwhelm you!! This year, let's celebrate Christ first and foremost.... Isn't that what it's all about??.....

Help!!! I'm not sure why my comments are being posted 2X!! Sorry, I'll work on that!
I just thought Tammy likes to repeat herself!(-: Everything looks great! Do I recognize those lights/greenery on the rail outside???
The house is beautiful, Sara. I love the Nativity Scene, especially your dragon. I love your devotion to Christ, you are such a great woman.
You've done a great job, as usual. You always seem to amaze me with your creativity. You hit the nail on the head. Jesus is the reason for the season!!
