Our First Christmas


Our first Christmas as a married couple was nothing short of out-of-control. Neither of us could stand to be away from our families, so we decided to do all of it. And we HAD to start by waking up in OUR OWN home, because – after all – it was OUR “first” Christmas.

Short story = we were in 5 different homes, 4 different towns, in TWO different states. All in a 16 hour period.

We spent approximately 7 (of those 16 hours) driving 300+ miles. (Note the order of A, B, C, D in the illustration provided, please.)

We ate “Christmas Dinner” THREE different times. ANDIDONTEVENLIKETURKEY

We will NEVER EVER EVER do that again.

Merry Christmas…

Dear Santa…

Believe it or not, Christmas is upon us. Don’t believe me? Just go to Target. I went the week before Thanksgiving, and Christmas was starting to take over. Yes. The Christmas decor is already out. You can buy new ornaments TODAY! Or you can ask any staff member here at The Chapel. We’ve been planning our Christmas Eve service for a week now. Yep. Christmas is upon us!

BUT, the good news is that it’s not too late to trade-in that “naughty” for some “nice” to get in good with Santa. The elves are still keeping tally. If you could make nice this Thanksgiving, and you just might tip the scales!

Besides, if we were completely honest, we’d own up to the fact that we already know what we want for Christmas.

So, go ahead. Own up. Whaddya want for Christmas?
