More Christmas season

While Tony was here we had our Christmas cantata at church. Over 30 people in the choir! It was such a fun time. But let me tell you, practicing since September got a little old, but it sure made the difference. I am in the top picture right beside the young guy (Dave) in the front row. We were in the tenor section! Tony got to sit with his grandma and enjoy!

Believe it or not, I didn't think to take pictures of our holiday get together with church family. By the time everthing was put out on the tables, I forgot to take pictures. See the lady in the top picture right above the lady with glasses in the first row? That's Gladys. She came over early and helped me get all of the food out and ready by 1pm on Saturday, the 22nd. 52 friends from church came and I still could have had about 20 more people to make a GOOD dent in the food! We had meatballs, little smokies, quiche, chimichangas, cut up, salads, meats and cheeses with bread and crackers, and just all kind of goodies! It was a very nice day. This year there were several open houses! One on Christmas eve, one on Christmas morning, ours on the 22nd, and one of the 20th as well! People just enjoyed getting together! Each one was very well attended!! Merry Christmas to all, this time of year reminds us that the best present that we all could get was the one we NEEDED! A savior who would take our sins upon Himself so that we could be forgiven and live with Him for eternity! So, afterall, Christmas isn't about what we want, but what we need! Praise God for providing what we could never provide for ourselves~Salvation for our souls!
