Silent Night

Well, it's Christmas Eve, the Eve of Christ's birth.

I wonder sometimes about everything that happened when He was born.  I think maybe that all the animals wanted to be around Him and there were Angels singing and Mary was crying and Joseph was astonished and everything was so wonderful. God's plan turned out perfect.  You know it always does.  I am so thankful that it did.

Soon Santa will be here.  Our house smells like potato soup and cookies.  It is warm and cozy and smells like Christmas.

Right now there is snow silently falling outside and everything is white.  It is so pretty.  All the trees are bare and everything is quiet.  Oh, silent night.
