Yesterday, I helped in three different Christmas Eve worship services: 3:30, 6:00, and 8:00.  It was wonderful to see so many people coming to worship on Christmas Eve!  It doesn’t matter how many Christmas Eve services I attend or lead, I always get excited and go with a sense of anticipation.  We shared Holy Communion with over 2,000 people in these services.  Some were rejoicing and some were hurting, but both connected with Christ in a special way. 

This morning we woke up to find that Santa apparently got our new address and left the kids a bunch of cool presents.  The hits of the day are the Batman Cave, the Easy Bake Oven, and a Furreal Cat, who we’ve named Lily.  Ever the romantic, I bought Nanci a new powercord for our Powerbook G4 Apple and an OU necklace.  I got a shirt a couple of weeks ago and this morning I got a coffee mug handpainted by Emma.

We’ll be getting ready, packing up, and going to Talihina here in a little bit to be with my Mom and my brother’s family this evening.  We’ll go to Nanci’s parents tomorrow and continue the celebration until coming back Saturday night! 

It’s been a busy season, and I think Christmas came faster than ever before.  It’s been a crazy year, but I’m sure next year will be even crazier!

Merry Christmas to all of you and great blessings in the New Year!!
