There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you!
Merry Christmas!

All I Want for Christmas is You
I don't need a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true

The Christmas Story
We had our Christmas program at church Sunday night. It was very simple, but very beautiful. The church was candlelit as we sang Silent Night and O Come all Ye Faithful. The children gathered at the front as Jerry read the Christmas story from the Bible. Then the kids sang a couple of songs. It was a wonderful service.
These are a few pics from that night.
Madelyn and Carolyn.
Carolyn, Elizabeth, and Madelyn. Madelyn loves these girls. She is always asking to go see her friends.
So sweet!
The kids singing...
Madelyn crawled up in the rocking chair instead of sitting on the floor with the other kids.
Waiting patiently for presents...

O, Christmas Tree
We have 3 Christmas trees up at our house. We usually put our trees up before Thanksgiving just so we can enjoy them longer. This year was no exception.
I've never really had a problem with Madelyn bothering the tree. She mostly just likes to look at them. She is extremely excited about all the lights and decorations.
Here she is posing with her tree. I call it the "Charlie Brown" tree because it is so small and sparse. The ornaments really help to make it look better.
This is the tree in my foyer. I usually only have clear lights, but this year, for fun, we decided to use colored lights on one of our trees. The other trees are decorated in reds and golds, but this one is more of a sentimental tree. It has all our keepsake ornaments on it. I haven't done a very good job of buying special ornaments, but it is never too late to start a tradition. I am going to start getting a couple of special ornaments for Madelyn every year of something that she is interested in. This year I am looking for Mickey and Dora. 
Last, but not least, this is the tree in my living room. Be sure to see my post below for pictures of Madelyn decorating it. I really like how all my trees look, and I am very excited for Christmas this year. This will be Madelyn's third Christmas, but it will be the first year she will know what is going on. I love to see her face light up when she stares at the trees. Christmas has always been a special holiday for me, but it will be especially so this year.
I pray everyone has a Merry Christmas!

The picture isn't very good, but this tree also has a lot of pink ornaments on it. I also have a pink angel and pink Santa Claus sitting on the tree skirt. Pink has always been a favorite color, so I had to have some pink Christmas decor.

Trimming the CHRISTmas tree
It is definitely the Christmas tree in our house, not the holiday tree. I refuse to say "happy holidays". It is "Merry Christmas!". Jesus is the reason for the season, and I will not be politically correct. It is time that we stand up for what we believe.
Madelyn helped me decorate the tree a couple of weeks ago, and I am just now getting the pictures posted. She had a great time playing with the ornaments, and she loves to see the lights and decorations. Christmas is such a magical time for children. She lights up like a Christmas tree whenever I bring out more decorations. Jerry will definitely have to decorate the house next year. He said he wasn't going to put up the outside lights this year because of everything he has going on right now, but Madelyn may change his mind.
I am so glad she is so excited about Christmas. I just want to teach her that there is more to Christmas than trees and lights.
We want to teach Madelyn the true meaning of Christmas because so many have forgotten. I want her to know that Christmas is more than Santa Claus and getting presents. Those things are fun, but we need to celebrate that Jesus was born to save us from our sins. He came to earth in a very humble way in a lowly stable when He was worthy of a golden palace.

I am so very thankful that Jesus is my Savior, and that He came to sacrifice His life just for me. I pray that each one of you know Jesus personally, and that you will celebrate Him this Christmas season.
God bless!
