Twas the Night Before Christmas..

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house, not a creature was stirring not even a mouse..

Uh, wrong house! Extended family's cars lined a full street and totalled about 50 people. We were so blessed to have them all visit US here in PA. The kids had a wonderful time opening and playing with new gifts along with giving Aunt Jen a fabulous makeover. The adults enjoyed eating, socializing, and watching the Ravens (most from MD). And congrats to Aunt Lisa and Mr. Roderick for their newly announced engagement! As we drove home from The Meraklis home to our home where another festivity begins, Alexandra once again asked me why we give gifts to each other. It is unbelievable how these sweet spirits remind us constantly of the true meaning of Christmas in and amongst the busy rush! I reminded her that the 3 Wisemen took gifts to our Savior, Jesus Christ when he was born and that above of all, Jesus gave us all a very very special
gift.. He died for each and every one of us! Hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and are able to take time to remember the true reasons for Christmas!
(My masterpiece)
