Christmas is coming!

So... it's the 4th of December. Just one week from Thanksgiving. Who all has their decorating done?

LOL... We have what we are doing outside done. Inside we need to finish up tonight and tomorrow.

St. Nicholas day is the 6th. Anybody use it to avoid Santa? We do. Sorta became necessary when we brought our two families together. I had never really done Santa and with my kids we emphasis that Jesus provides our needs and wants so, Jesus is who the presents come from. With Jeff's two they were all about Santa and the materialism of the commercialism of Christmas. So the compromise is that we do a devotion on St. Nicholas and explain who he was and why he is associated with Christmas. (I'll post the devotion later today)

It seems to be working out. On St. Nick's eve the kiddos leave their shoes by their doors and in the morning find a little present in them. (VERY inexpensive and nothing that big)

We still need to figure out what exactly we are doing for Christmas. We had thought about having a friends party the Saturday after Christmas. I don't know though. I would love to have friends over but the business is going crazy.

This weekend is busy. Tomorrow evening the elementary school aged kids are performing in the city park in Dickson as a premiere for "Miracle on Main St." The actual performance is Sunday night at church.

Next week Britt has practice for the band concert on Monday. Both Kimmie and Britt have the Band Concert on Tuesday. Wednesday is church, Thursday is Kimmie Drama performance, Saturday (13th) Kimmie has mid state auditions at McGavock in Nashville.

I am sure there is more going on too. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I forgot... Benji has his Echo on Monday. We are praying his heart is healed.
