I absolutely LOVE Christmas time, have I mentioned that yet? Now that we are only a week and a half away from Christmas it is time to kick things into high gear.  Tonight we are going to the Creation Museum to see their Bethlehem walk-thru, which I hear is awesome! Excited to take our family there and we hope to get great ideas for our Bethlehem walk-thru Christmas Eve morning 9am @ Hoosier Harvest Church.  We are going to have live animals, merchant booths with food, toys, & many other things to purchase, Bethlehem village, & more.  Make sure you are there and bring your kiddos too, they are going to love it.

Christmas is a great time to have traditions and build great memories.  Make sure you use the time wisely and above all to celebrate our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Truly the reason that we even have this awesome holiday is because of the Holy Day (where we get the word holiday from) that God wrapped himself up in a gift and bought salvation for you and I in the form of man, Jesus Christ.  So in the chaos of planning, buying, cooking, and all that we do let’s make sure that ALL eyes (especially the eyes of our kids) are on the maker of it all, not Santa, not presents, not hot chocolate, not school breaks, but the ONE & ONLY Savior of the world, Jesus Christ!!!
