I thought I'd start a new tradition. Instead of sending Christmas greetings (Christmas cards), I am going to send Happy New Year Greetings! It gets so incredibly crazy that I just don't get the time to write and send Christmas cards like I want to. So, Happy New Year!! I hope you have all found time to enjoy the holiday season in all its true glory. There were so many chores, so much shopping, so much decorating, so much cooking, phone calling, visiting, wrapping, an on and on. Making Christ the center of this past Christmas seems like an elusive dream. But we were able to find Him in some little ways. So I just wanted to share with you a few things we did to help remind us of our Savior in the middle of the worldly Christmas rush:
We hummed or sang Christmas songs in the car.
Helped a child prepare a nice surprise for a neighbor or sibling.
Enjoyed a little Christmas treat, even if we we're dieting -again!
Secretly did something nice for someone.
Watched a classic Christmas show.
Displayed nativities in our home.
Read Christmas stories
Displayed the Christmas letters and cards we received from family & friends
In our prayers we said more "thank yous" and less "please".
Read Luke 2 with our family.
We told our family members and friends that we love them.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Candy. I love it! Good job and what a great way to keep up with what's going on (or is that going down?) with the Floreks. Just one question, where's the photo of Dave? Love you! Cheryl
Well, so once i have dried the tears from my eyes I will continue. Thank you for reminding me that it really is about the little things that make it a more Christ centered Christmas. I hope that you have a wonderful New Year, and that good things are in store for you and your family. Love to see ya some time. Oh and fantastic family picture.

Yea I can comment, thanks Cand! Great blog, very tender. (You forgot Christmas caroling at the Rest Home.) Your family is very busy. I've seen other cards with individual pictures, I bet they have the same problem. Anyhoo, great job.
