Most, if not all of us, celebrate Christmas, but unfortunately few of us attend worship services to give thanks and praise for the birth of Jesus Christ, even at Christmas. Let's make this Christmas extra special -- even if you don't regularly attend church, pick any church (I'm sure they'd be glad to have you), and attend services on Christmas Eve. At the very least, set aside half an hour on Christmas Eve to read the Bible or the story of the very first Christmas, and to pray God to thank Him for the birth of Jesus and all that he has done for us.
Amen.

Hey Tammy,
I really liked this. It's good to see some true Christmas pictures. I'm so tired of everyone trying to take Christ out of Christmas. All the stores now say Happy Holidays, but I say "Merry Christmas." It is so wonderful working around the church this time of year, it really makes you remember what the season is all about. There is also so much giving, Christmas Baskets for the Needy, Backpacks for Room In the Inn, and so many others. The office staff took up a collection for Mercy House, which is an organization that helps teenagers that get pregnant and don't want to have abortions. It's a really good support group, and helps them through everything.
I feel very blessed this year because I work at the church, but I also feel blessed that I have a family that is so loving. I especially want to thank you for all you do to keep us in touch with one another. Merry Christmas, Love, Aunt Alice
