JAG Nation Christmas Extravaganza



Another JAG Nation event has been slated for December 15th in the home of BigDaddyD and Mrs. T. I'm sure it too will be a time of fun and fellowship and "good will toward men." I am looking forward to this evening. Dinner will begin around 5:00 p.m. and following dinner, we will be having a "White Elephant" gift exchange, so everyone bring a Christmas gift, gag gift or otherwise, and we'll have fun grabbing presents from one another!

If you have the time, take a moment and post a comment that shares your fondest Christmas memory.


Luke 2: 1-14

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Christmas to me has always been about family. My brother and sisters home, a great meal, and then everyone just sitting around and talking, playing games, opening presents.
I always enjoyed playing Santa for my kids, watching them run downstairs to see what he left for them.
Now they are all grown up and the mystery is gone, but just having them home for a while means so much.
I love Christmas, and thank you for the chance to reflect for a minute.
We're looking forward to having our JAG friends over to celebrate the season together.
