CHRISTmas memories

Well this Christmas was no disappointment....it was my first white CChristmas in awhile and I am thrilled about that. The presents were good..they always are...I am so blessed. I'm blessed to have the parents that I have...2 parents that work hard each and everyday in order to provide for my brothers and me. I got this box drum that I have been really wanting, now its time to put it to good use....and we got some new clothes and some xbox stuff....but I think that so many people today get lost in what the true meaning of Christmas is...even me...Ya know when I think of Christmas what I think of is my family getting together and spending the days laughing and carrying on. I think of all of the great friends that I have been blessed with...the ones at home and the ones that are with me at college that help me get through each and every day of the relentless studying and school work. There is this one special one who I have met through a theater class and had bio with them....they mean the world to me and have no idea how much they have helped me in my life just this semester. This person is so very special to me and I don't know what I would do without them....even though all those things are important in life, but sometime I get lost in what the true meaning Christmas should be. Its about the birth of my Savior and Lord Jesus...I know alot of people think about the manger and all, but my pastor always reminds us that its not just about the manger at Christmas time...its also about the cross...because in order for Jesus to die on the cross for my sins he had to be born in that manger. So I just want to say thanks Jesus...I know you didn't have to and I know you really shouldn't have had to...cause you were and ARE God. But I thank you for loving me enough to do that and to die on the cross for my sins...thank you soo much!!!
