1. Decorating the Christmas Tree. (even though we aren't going to put ours up this year...)
2. My new appreciation for Christmas Music ( I think Bentley really likes it too because whenever i play Christmas music he seems to start moving around.)
3. Driving around to all the neighborhoods and seeing all the homes covered from head to toe in Christmas Lights.
4. Clients who usually are the most annoying stick-in-the-mud people, actually coming in with a smile on their face :)
5. The self-less acts of buying presents for others to small acts of service for those in need.
6. The joy of Family ( I am especially grateful for my husband and the wonderful kind things he does for me)
7. The yummy goodies that somehow seem to magically appear on your door step.
8. Seeing children's faces on Christmas morning when they see all their amazing new things.
9. The appreciation and compassion we have for others through the holiday season.
10. Jesus Christ. For his sacrifices and his example.
I could go on and on because Christmas is really an amazing holiday and one of the most important all year. But this Christmas I am going to focus on #10 on my list. We were at ward choir and the director stopped us for a second and said that we needed to really feel the words we were singing. That just reminded me that usually I go through the motions around Christmas time but not remembering the true meaning of why we celebrate Christmas. I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and I am so glad each year we have a holiday to truly remember Him.
