I Once Was A Humbug!!!

Well, as it has been every year since Becca and I have been married that the Christmas tree and all the home Christmas decorations went up the day after Halloween, November 1 (which happens to be my Birthday). It’s not that I have EVER wanted them up that early but my wife LOVES Christmas!! I happen to be a little bit of a humbug, a little bit of a scrooge and it’s not that I haven’t enjoyed Christmas, It just seems to be the never ending season of RED and GREEN and songs about Santa and Frosty and other made up Characters that are melodically annoying. I like most of the ones about Jesus, the true meaning of Christmas. Well, this year I decided that I needed to change. I needed to enjoy Christmas and let my family have the best Christmas ever so I went to the store bought Becca one of those RED Christmas plants with a note that said I wouldn’t be a humbug anymore, made the gingerbread house with the kids and watched Frosty the Snowman with Ava last night. You know the old saying “If you can’t beat them, Join them” Well…..I’m in!!! For me this year for me has truly been INCREDIBLE!! Family life has never been better for Becca and I and the kids. I have had the opportunity of traveling Canada and many parts of the world, I have gone on a great vacation with my family and my home church is amazing and growing like never before. I am a blessed man!! God has blessed me!!! I have alot to thank God for and I might as well put aside a few things that I don’t necessarily like about Christmas and jump in on the JOY side of Christmas life!! So Jump on the Jolly Josh Groban bandwagon with me and have the best Christmas EVER!!!
