The A - Z of Christmas - G and H

G - The precious Gift of God's Son, Jesus Christ.

GGlitter....how many times in my life has glitter been a apart of Christmas.... As a Sunday School teacher.....my class used glitter alot. Wanted to make any Christmas projects pop out. And oh the glitter that you can never get off your hands, your face, your clothes, etc. And we also used glitter when homeschooling. Always had the stuff on hand, ready to use.

G  -  Now that I am older, Christmas time is much grander...because of our 3 Grandchildren. Oh to see the sights and sounds of Christmas through a child's eyes.

G -  One of our biggest traditions, is Getting a live Christmas tree. The kids always loved to go and help out a tree. Some still do. Although that is getting increasingly harder to find a time when we can all get together to do this. Some years we have gotten a tree that would already be cut. The fun times, though , is when we go to a  tree farm, to find that perfect tree, and cut it down ourselves.

H - Herr's Potato Chip Factory drive through lights display......this is a highlight for me. We always have to drive through two or three times because you can't see it all the first time through. Then to park and have to get out and take pictures of us standing next to something.....most likely the caterpillar. When we are finished, then it is off to Wawa (right across the road), for hot chocolate or coffee.

H - Hot Chocolate

H - Ho Ho Ho ----Even though our emphasis is not on Santa Claus for Christmas.....(we do very much believe that Jesus is the reason for the Christmas Season, and the reason we give gifts, is because God gave the ultimate Gift...His Son)....it is still alot of fun to create memories in our family that deal with Santa and Ho Ho Ho.

What are your G's & H's?
