I am NOT a curmudgeon.

I am really NOT a bad person but…

I can’t wait until 12/26/08.

Shocking huh?

I am just not a Christmas person.

Thanksgiving? You betcha!

Easter? Absolutely!

Both can easily be celebrated sans all the commercialism. With Christmas this isn’t as easily done. But I’m working on it. I’m trying to find my own way and not follow the way of the marketers or secular world. I refuse to be told how to celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by people who love Him not.

What I’d really like to do is figure out a way to take a family mission trip the last two weeks of each year. I know I’ve said this before and didn’t manage to make it happen this year. But my prayer is that next year the Lord would make it possible. Actually not only possible but a reality.

In my heart of hearts I think that would be the perfect way to celebrate Christmas. Well that and 8 dozen Christmas cookies.
