If God Values Us, Why Can’t We Value Ourselves?
Seems you agree, Karen. And when I saw decorated trees going up in August, I was totally turned off. But now that the timing is right, sure am enjoying Christmas 2015. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Annette, I so appreciate your wonderful show to get us all in the Christmas mood…Merry Christmas to you, too.
I don’t much like Christmas music and such before Halloween, or before Thanksgiving. I feel that the commercial places just want to encourage me to part with my hard-earned dollars. Though I love my Christmas spirit, I don’t like having it shoved down my throat by advertisers. I like to think I have that spirit all year long, regardless of the season. Now that it’s after Thanksgiving, bring on the fa la la la las!
I agree 100%, Karen! Last week I was not ready to think about Christmas. Now it’s on my mind a lot (seeing children and grandchildren…woohoo!). Christmas Spirit is here!
