Today we went back to school and it was not too bad actually. I would call it a good day minus the evening homework. I have started to arrive early sometimes to Mass practice because I love the way a church is so peaceful and quiet when empty. Well to my surprise the nativity was still out in the church and there were Christmas trees everywhere. It was lovely and allowed me to step backwards a minute to Christmas. I took some pictures of the navitity because I just love it so much! Then I sat on a pew and read my Bible verse and it was a nice moment. Our seven year old son has decided we are going to leave his small Christmas tree up all year and we will just change out the decorations according to the different holidays. He loves the lights and the precious ornaments. I am a Mom that is going to go with that idea!
