I want to take this time to wish everyone a most happy and blessed Christmas! Tomorrow and the next day will be filled with busyness, family, food, prayer, and traditions. The birthday of Our Lord is such a wonderful time! Whatever your usual festivities and traditions are, I urge you to reflect on the real reason for the season - the birth of The Savior. He gave us all a most precious gift - the gift of salvation. Let us all accept this gift from God, and let Jesus into our lives and hearts as our personal Savior. While the rest of the world would have us all believe that Christmas is about Santa, and elves, and gift giving and shopping and decorating, we must all realize that Jesus is the reason for Christmas! And yet, now in today's world, Jesus is removed from all mention of Christmas. The world has tried to make Christmas just a "winter holiday". How sad.
Today I am busy preparing some traditional foods for our Christmas dinner, and bringing some last minute food gifts to neighbors. Here I am pictured in my kitchen this morning in my newly sewn apron preparing some 7-grain bread. Later today I will make a big batch of potato and cheese filled pierogies. A couple days ago I made some very good lefsa and we have been enjoying that for meals.
A very Merry Christmas to you all, and may the coming year be your 'best ever'!
