As fall rides off in the sunset
I sweep the snow from my doorstep
I just can’t help but stop and grin
It’s like I’m ten years old again
And everywhere I go I can feel it
Some say it moves like a spirit
It falls on us once a year
Like it came on a midnight clear
It’s all love
The season is a gift
When love came down to let us live
Let’s open up and let our hearts embrace this moment
For Christmas this year
Gonna make a sound
Gonna make it loud
For Christmas this year
We’re gonna make some noise
Let the world rejoice
For Christmas this year
For Christmas
For Christmas this year
The laughter starts before the sunrise
I sneak downstairs at the sparklin’ lights
And oh what joy it brings to me
Our family around our Christmas tree
And I thank the Lord for His favor
As we sing the songs of the Savior
Our Savior
It’s all love
The season is a gift
When love came down to let us live
Let’s open up and let our hearts embrace this moment
For Christmas this year
Gonna make a sound
Gonna make it loud
For Christmas this year
We’re gonna make some noise
Let the world rejoice
For Christmas this year
For Christmas
For Christmas this year
Holy Holy holy
God is coming near
Unto us a savior born
On a midnight clear
Oh
For Christmas this year
Gonna make a sound
Gonna make it loud
For Christmas this year
We’re gonna make some noise
Let the world rejoice
For Christmas this year
For Christmas
For Christmas this year
Snow didn’t fall on Christmas Day, but that didn’t make the day any less fun. We got to go to some friends’ house after church, and we spent the whole day there. It was a sweet time of fun and conversation…and pool! Turns out my Dad is pretty amazing at it – he learned while in the military. We all were given mini lessons by Dad and our friends.
We only opened presents this morning, since we got home so late last night. Everyone had fun, especially since most of us love giving gifts in funny ways – with crazy wrapping, silly notes, and more. There was quite a bit of laughter! Our family was so blessed this Christmas by so many wonderful gifts from our sweet friends.
This week was full of music, brown-paper-and-newspaper gift wrap, and chocolate covered pretzels. Because how can you have Christmas without chocolate covered pretzels? (You can’t. It just wouldn’t be the same.)
I miss the snow. Dreadfully. Seeing green outside is not the same as seeing white. But that’s okay, because Christmas Is All In The Heart.
So merry Day-after-Christmas, and happy rest of the year!
