Snow in Houston?!!?

YEP! Outside my balcony...

and on my car!

The next morning I had to use my scrapper to get the snow/ice off...it totally felt like a REAL december! (vs. the 70 degree weather we had the day before!)

...AND...at work we are having "the 12 days of Christmas" so the 12 days before Christmas we do something special each day: cookies, free jeans day, staff potluck etc....

The day after it snowed was....

HOT CHOCOLATE DAY!!
I was loving that :)

Christmas Time

(Sorry Jaci! I know you already had this background, but I loved it too...)

Favorite Christmas song:

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

-

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

-

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.

i love when you repeat "wonders of his love" over and over and the second verse "Joy to the world, our savior reigns!"


Favorite Christmas decoration: Candy Canes -- when I was little, the chruch did a christmas play and sang a little song about candy canes...i still remember the words, it goes like this:

Every time I see a candy cane hanging on a tree

I can't help thinking of the one who gave his life for me

And everything about candy cane from its color to its shape:

Reminds me of my savior's love, that's why I celebrate!
