I shopped with Amy and Natalie. I ran with my workout mix. I got ready in a flash, and we all headed to church for the Christmas Eve service. I wish I had taken pictures. But no. The church looked beautiful, as always. The usual Christmas hymns were sung, and the sermon on Mary’s rest in God and surrender of her life to fulfill his purpose was brilliant. Singing Joy to the World, the congregation headed outside to stand on the lawn with candles singing carols. Our family huddled together to keep warm, and I looked up to see the stunning church steeple masterfully lit to accentuate its detail. Above it was a dark black sky, with one star visible. Perfect.
We all came back to the house to eat sandwiches and various cheeses with crackers (pimento cheese, Christmas-y cheese ball, cream cheese and pepper jelly, queso dip) and enjoyed each other’s company around the table. We watched the Andy Williams Christmas Special, and got ready for bed.
Once we get there, only a matter of hours until we can see what Santa had up his sleeve for this year.
Anderson’s on the pull out couch, already out.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
