I am getting so excited Christmas is almost here. Anybody that knows me knows I love birthdays and what better than the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I love the spirit of Christmas and all that surrounds it. To me Christmas is about spending time with those you love, and reflecting on the many blessing in our lives. Today I am absolutely bursting at the seams Kevin and Kurtis are putting the Christmas lights on the house (We don’t turn them on until Thanksgiving night). I love decorating our home for Christmas; I have always loved Christmas lights. When I was younger I would beg my brother and dad to put them on our house. I also used to beg my grandma Leavitt to decorate her house for Christmas. One year when I was about twelve I finally took a strand of lights and decorated a small tree in my grandma’s front yard. From that year on, she would decorate her house with the help of my cousin Curtis her yard always looked spectacular, her home even placed a few times in the Sunset City light contest. Unfortunately my grandma passed away on February 14, 2006. She truly was an amazing woman and I miss her greatly, she was one of my best friends. Now that I have a home of my own I always decorate it in remembrance of my Grandma and all of the love she brought to the world and to my life.Grandma I know you and Jesus are looking down from heaven enjoying the Christmas lights. I love you and miss you.
