Christmas blessings from Christ

I love this time of year and the excitement and all the good that people do. Loved spending time with my family - children, sister, brother and parents. Roast turkey and, stuffing and cranberries is my favourite thing. We had picked raspberries the day before - she picked 4 - none of which were very ripe - she enjoyed the boysenberries as we picked - calling them sour - which the majority were. Mum made a lovely raspberry and white chocolate dessert I love and always associate with Christmas. She loved her wings from Auntie Marena and doll from my parents and beanbag from Uncle Jeremy. She did finally have an afternoon sleep though. I really like this thought expressed by the late Neal A. Maxwell - "Each of us is an innkeeper and decides if there is room for Jesus." I feel that although nice the commercialism detracts from the importance of Christmas. I am so thankful for my beautiful children, must post more photos of my son too:)
