Celebrating and Simplifying

Note: I know that celebrating and simplifying are not technically alliterative, but they sound like they should be. :-)
 
Celebrating...a concert of Christmas music at our church...watching my kids perform in the church Christmas play...our annual mother/daughter tea room visit for my mother's birthday which is 11 days before Christmas...Christmas caroling at my grandpa's Home...Christmas dinner with my family on Christmas Eve...reading the Christmas story and opening presents around our tree on Christmas morning...Christmas with my husband's family on New Year's Eve.

Simplifying...we attended one party this Christmas season...we had one Christmas-related field trip...we will bake zero Christmas cookies...we will send zero Christmas cards....so we can enjoy as much time as possible with the six of us and our closest family members enjoying and worshiping the One Who is the reason for the season.
