WOW!!!! Christmas Eve is here… what excitement is floating around every little kid today… If we could somehow harness that excitement and turn it into energy we would no longer need oil and gasoline… that would surely get us through the year…
One of my funniest Christmas memories as a child happened on Christmas eve… My dad was taking me back to my mom’s for the night so I could have Santa the next morning… We had just left my grandmama’s when I noticed a blinking red light in the sky… I didn’t say anything to anyone… I couldn’t believe my eyes… We rode some more and then it blinked again… I tried to keep quiet but my excitement overwhelmed me and I screamed…. “IT”S RUDOLPH!!! HURRY!!!” I couldn’t believe I actually saw him flying over my town… I was in such a hurry to get home, get to bed, and wait for all my toys…. My dad didn’t say anything, he just hurried to my mom’s, and away to bed I went…
The next morning, all my cookies and milk were gone and there were presents everywhere…
No one ever told me that it wasn’t Rudolph, but now every time I see a radio tower with red blinking lights, I am reminded of that magical night that I thought I saw Rudolph… Look for him tonight…He will be there.
Tonight also brings my favorite time ever throughout the year… It’s the Christmas Eve Candle light service at church… It is the best service of the whole year… For that brief moment it seems that the whole world has stopped and all is at peace… at the close of the service the Silent Night hymn rings us into the wonderful Christmas day… If you are available around 11 pm tonight come join us tonight at Anderson Mill Road Baptist Church…
Have a great night…and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
P.S. For all of you who haven't heard it yet, below is a video of my favorite Christmas song... No, this is not me on the video...although, I wish I would have thought of it!!! Enjoy!!!
