The other day a friend asked what my sweetie and I are doing for Christmas, what are our traditions, how do we celebrate the birth of our Lord? For the first fifteen years of our marriage we were involved in Church ministry so the people we served were the priority. We spent Christmas Eve (always) and … Continue reading Christmas Traditions
