Merry Christmas
Posted on December 25th, 2008 in Family by Fred McKinnon
Dear Friends and Family,
It’s our first Christmas at home. How wonderful to wake up and celebrate the birth of Jesus in our own home. We’ll be visiting family soon, but for now – it’s been so special being here together, just the 6 of us …. well, 7 of us ….
No, Joy isn’t pregnant again. (Hallelujah) In the Christmas cheer, I’m including our big cat, Jag. Joy says I always leave Jag out when I count the family.
We setup a digital clock in the kid’s room last night and told them they weren’t allowed to come downstairs until it was at least 6:00 AM. I woke up to the scurry of excited kids around 6:02 AM.
We’ve torn open gifts all morning and sang a loud, cheery “Happy Birthday” to Jesus that I’m quite sure everyone on Settlers Hammock Circle heard with full clarity.
So, now kids are playing, Joy’s getting dressed, and I’m just hanging out here with Lappie (my wonderful MacBook Pro) to wish you, my friends and family here in blogworld a big, blessed, Merry Christmas.
I hope that you will celebrate life today – the birth of the only Savior to ever make redemption for mankind available to all who will receive … the life of your loved ones and friends …. and for the many blessings that we have in this land, and across the world.
From all of us, to you …. “Merry Christmas”!
Fred, Joy, Jon Michael, Will, Rebekah, and … Jag.
