My Christmas day is lookin' a little something like this...
Wake up snuggling some puppies (okay, they are grown dogs- but they'll always be "my puppies")
Make some hot coco in my PJ's with Ryan... throwin' some Baileys in there
Ryan's family is coming over at 10am to have breakfast and open stockings
Relax a little, eat a little, play with my nephew...
Then shower, get ready and head to my uncles to spend the day with my family
Eat a late lunch, Mmmm- I still need to get a pie for that -eeek.
Around 5 we head over to my in-laws to eat dinner with Ryan's extended family- and that's a lot of people!
Once we are nice and full, and tired out... we're going to head home to snuggle on the couch and watch a movie until we fall asleep. I can't wait!
A Christmas Prayer
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving Father,
Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus' sake.
