Christmas Memories
By Paul H. Betancourt
Copyright December, 2011
One of our Christmas memories from when the kids were younger was going to a Christmas tree farm, cutting down a tree and bringing it home.
Decorating the Christmas tree was always a full event at our house. We had Christmas music blaring, hot cider in the crock pot and cookies coming out of the oven. Decorating was a three ring circus, but we knew we had welcomed in Christmas.
I don’t know what your family traditions are, but I hope you have something similar to our memories of decorating the family Christmas tree. Our days, weeks and years are full of endless routines. One of the charms of the holidays is that we stop… and take a moment.
Yes, I know it gets hectic. I wish we could stretch the holidays into January. But, we don’t do that. We cram all the bustle- the food, the presents, the decorations, the parties, faith and family visits all together.
We cherish the time because these truly are special moments in our lives. We might complain about the hassle, but think about what our years would be like without the holidays.
Merry Christmas Y’all.
