Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve.  The house is quiet.  The kids are sleeping.
 The lights are on to show the Light of the World is coming.
 Four candles were lit during prayers to mark the end of our preparation and waiting.
Our Jesse Tree has all the O Antiphons added as well as 
 Joseph and Mary awaiting the birth of Jesus, our Lord.
 The stockings are hung (and checked every 10 minutes).
 The tree is glowing complete with presents and thankgiving tags.

Some are the most important of all...



Some show you much we care...





We remember those we love...



  






Those with special meaning in our lives...




Things we CAN'T live without...


 


Things that add happiness to our lives...




And of course a goofy thing or two...


May your Christmas be lit by the Light of the World.
May your Christmas be filled with thanksgiving for all things great and small.
May your love pour out on all those around you.
God bless you and your family on this beautiful Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!
