Christmas Decor

Last night after dinner we decided to decorate for Christmas. We got out the tree, put the wreath on the door, and hung the stockings. I wasn't in my best mood when we started, but as we hung ornaments and listened to Christmas music, and I watched the kids dancing around like wild banshees joyfully, I was reminded just how lucky I am. Not only for a great family, but for all that Christmas means.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

One of the things I was most excited about when it came to Christmas decor, was having large windows in the living room so the Christmas tree could be seen from the street. Once the tree was decorated and the kids were in bed, I was so excited. I grabbed Aaron to come out in the front yard with me to see what our beautiful tree looked like from the outside.

All the anticipation, and then I realized...

there's a column smack in front of our middle window. Ha!
