Merry Christmas Eve everyone.

This one will be bitter sweet for me. It’s the first Christmas without either of my parents. It will be the first Christmas Eve that I can ever remember without a Christmas Eve shindig.

But I am amazingly blessed. My kids are wonderful and healthy and amazingly talented. (Yes, I know, everyone’s kids are amazing. But forgive me. Plus, mine are REALLY awesome.)

It’s a blessing for sure, and at the basis of that blessing is the gift God gave us at forever salvation with the birth of His Son. It also gives me joy that I will see my mother and Pop again because of that gift.

Merry Christmas everyone.
