My favorite Christmas present was..... I don't really remember what my favorite Christmas present was. Ha HA. I can remember what my favorite birthday present was and what I got for Easter at the house on pierce street but I can't think of my favorite Christmas present. I can think of I Christmas present that I liked that we gave to my mom and that I kind of stole. Two years ago we gave her the complete books of the Chronicles of Narnia in one book. I read all the books while we were there because none of the cousins had been able to come. I loved reading them though. C.S Lewis was such a God Gifted writer.
Does that count?
I honestly can't think of a Christmas gift that I got that was my favorite. I like this years but since you wanted me to post this before then it would look kind of weird :D

Christmas story
Once upon a time... just kidding! Actually to write the Christmas story in your own words is a bit daunting. I'm not sure exactly what auntie had in mind when she told me to do this so I'm just going to wing it.
An angel visited Mary and told that she would have a son, even though she was a virgin. She didn't understand and the angel explained that God would make it possible. She believed him. He also told her name the baby Jesus. Joseph ( who was her fiancee) wasn't sure what to do. But God told him in a dream that he should stay with Mary. When it was almost time for Mary to have the baby, she and Joseph had to go to Bethlehem to register for the census. When they got there, there was no room in the inns, but one of the innkeepers let them stay in his stable. So Jesus was born in a stable and was laid in the manger.
Meanwhile some shepherds were out watching their flocks and suddenly there was angel. They were afraid but the angel told them not to fear. He told them about Jesus being born in Bethlehem and that he was the Lord. He told them were to find him and suddenly there was a host of angels singing praise to God. Needless to say, the shepherds were excited. They went and found Jesus and worshiped him. Then they went and told everyone they could about these events.
Do you want me to add the wise men too? because technically they were a couple of years later.

Christmas and Fireproof
Courtney and I were talking today and making plans for Christmas this year. So now the family ( or most of it anyways) will probably be coming to our house for Christmas!! How awesome is that?! I can't wait! It will be fun.
So I went and saw Fireproof this weekend. I really enjoyed it. I got to see it Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I thought to myself while watching it Friday " how awesome has God made America that we can watch a Christian movie in a public movie theater? that Christians can come together and celebrate our values in front of everyone? and that the Salvation message can be shared with everyone?" I think that God has blessed us immensely!
