"Something Metallic"
Christmas is exactly one month away! It's coming soon! The house smells amazing, the white lights are growing on John, and our multi-color lights are half dead. A little annoying, but at least they were only draped over the window. I was trying to think of something metallic to take a picture of today. My brain is gone from the past few long days. I was switching a couple ornaments on the tree to free up a congested tree branch when I saw this ornament! I didn't remember it as John put it on the tree while I stopped to eat a snack the other day. (There is something to be mulled over when food is more important than Christmas to me for a change....) It was a good reminder of why we are celebrating this upcoming season! It makes me think of "The Christmas Box" by Richard Paul Evans, particularly the one quote in the movie:
"What was the first gift of Christmas?"
"A tie?"
And then he learns the following:
(excerpt from the book but also in the movie)
“The first gift of Christmas was love. A parent's love. Pure as the first snows of Christmas. For God so loved His children that He sent His son, that someday we might return to Him.”
