I decorated my apartment for Christmas this weekend. My sister Sarah and I laughed about how different we are when I told her that I have a theme - gold, snowflakes and pinecones.As I decorated I considered whether decorating early for Christmas was missing out on the purpose of Christmas, (i.e. skipping Advent and going right to celebrating the day of Christmas).
But I decided as I carefully trimmed my little Noble Fir Christmas tree that I was preparing both my house and my heart for the coming of my King

Oh Theresa - I love your idea of early decorating for Jesus. Did you know I still have the little present you wrapped for Jesus when you were two and you stayed at our house with your parents? I put it on our tree every year. I don't know what is in it - but - I imagine it is your heart that you gave to Jesus - so we have your heart with us each Christmas Season. I love that and I love YOU - Aunt ME
