Who doesn’t love the Children’s Christmas play at church? Growing up in the church, Jamie and I participated every year when we were kids. When I was seven, I had the lead role as “The Littlest Bell” in “The Little Bell That Wouldn’t Stop Ringing.” I don’t remember any lines or songs; just that I LOVED all the attention as the lead. (I’ve always loved a stage!) The next one I remember wasn’t as much fun for me. I remember being put out that I got a part in the background

The other day I was talking with a friend, and she asked, “Are you the type of person who likes to get what they need or what they want for Christmas?” I thought about it and said, “Neither. I like sentimental gifts.” The truth is that Jamie and I don’t buy a lot of Christmas presents. We’re both adults, and when it comes to the things we need, I like to pick them myself. Personally, there’s not a lot that I want—I’m just not a “things” person. But get me a sentimental

I love Christmastime!!! Seriously, it’s my second favorite time of the year. (Summer will always rule supreme!) I love the Christmas lights, the Christmas decorations, the music, the movies, the foods, the traditions…I just love it all. For me, it’s a special time of year when everything is just a little more fun. Because we don’t focus a lot on presents and parties, there’s less stress and more time to relax with those you love and let those you love know how much you care
