It's been awhile since I last posted (more than a month, oops!) so I post some pictures from Christmas. It was a nice quiet Christmas chez Ingrid with the fam. My mother invited our neighbor and her granddaughter over on Christmas Eve even though Erik and I didn't want her to. I think are complaint was that "she's too redneck and too Albertan" but that's another story... I 'm glad my mother did invite them over because in all my years we've never had a Christmas sans family or friends. It truly exemplified the meaning of Christmas and reminded me of why we celebrate the birth of Christ.
The pictures on the left are of some Christmas symbols that we put up in our house such as the Christmas tree, the advent wreath and some star tea light candle holders we put on the table that act as another advent wreath as well. I like them very much because no matter what the world looks like outside, my house in all its Christmas decoration glory, reminds me of the promise of the birth of the Christ-child in Bethlehem some two thousand years ago. Christmas does that to you. It reminds you of what is actually important. I love Christmas for that reason. I hope it does that for you too!
