Merry Christmas!

Today is the day that we celebrate the birth of my savior Jesus Christ. I am so thanful that he came and the many blessing that he has given to me throughout my life. This year for Christmas, our tradition have been different...as anyone my age can understand. For 26 years, we have spent Christmas Eve with my Nanny(my Dad's Grandma). She went to home to be with Jesus on Monday. Although yesterday was different and we did not celebrate with her and her family all day things happened that made me smile. Also, I realized that Jesus knows exactly what he is doing up there and gives and takes away at the right time in our life.
Yes seasons are changing and things are different...and it moments when most of the world would be sad I have a millon reasons to smile. So today, I say Happy Birthday Jesus. I hope you are honored in somemany ways today by millons of people.
Merry Christmas friends and family, Merry Christmas.
