Christmas is a lot of fun but a lot of work, too
New Center News
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Decorations are going up everywhere inside and outside. A lot of preparations have to be made for Christmas. Along with decorating, we purchase a few more groceries for parties and get-togethers. We shop until we drop for that special gift for that special someone, and the kids work on their Christmas list to mail to Santa. Even with the anticipation and looking forward to the holiday festivities, we must celebrate Christmas for the true meaning that it represents: the birth of Jesus.
