Christmas in your heart!

Remember, if Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under a tree."

~ Charlotte Carpenter.



With the holiday near, I think it's very important to remember with Christmas is really all about. Not the presents, egg nog, caroling, or mistletoe ;) It's about celebrating Christ's birthday and more importantly... with the people you love! Sometimes it's easy to forget with all the ipod's, tv's, and game systems. Like the quote above, presents aren't going to make you happy if you have no love in your heart. This time of the year is about sharing and caring! I donated to blue santa this year.. which is a great cause! It's also a good time to teach children a great lesson. My wonderful Sis in law Abby always has her children take presents to children who are less fortunate. It makes them realize that not every child gets present, and appreciate all they have!



I just love being able to spend this holiday with my family! My brother is recently divorced, and he gets to spend this Christmas with his boys! I'm sooo excited! We're going to the Great Wolf Lodge the 19-22nd =) If you haven't heard of it, check it out :

It's going to be the first Christmas in a couple of years that all of us get to be together.. my parents, my brothers, and their families! It's going to be soooo nice! I'm very thankful, I think family is the best present of all!!!!!



Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday.. and remember to have Christmas in your heart!
