Dear Reader, I really love the Christmas season! Aside from celebrating our Savior's birth, it gives me great pleasure to experience the symphony of the senses. Please join me in a few sensory delights.
Thanks to Daddy, I've got a big ole honking nose. That can be good or bad. Allergens are not my friend and with this big receptacle, sometimes they're hard to avoid. But when it comes to the tart, with some sweet and spicy added in, there's nothing better than apples and cinnamon. Does anything, except maybe pumpkin pie, perk up our nostrils in quite the same way during the holidays?
I love the scents of winter! For me, it's all about the feeling you get when you smell pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and spruce.

When James began piano lessons in 2nd grade, it was probably no surprise that his favorite songs were Christmas carols. I love Christmas music! My radio dial is turned in the first day those hymns and jingles hit the airwaves. If I were to name my top 10 songs of all time, I'm betting at least two would be Christmas songs. I hope the songs in the air put a song in your heart this holiday season.
I'm totally the 'decorate early, start listening to Christmas songs super early' guy. I've just always been that way.

I think this picture of our own little Santa Baby is adorable. Of course, I think the looks on the faces of children as they discover the wonders of Christmas must be my most favorite sight of the holiday season. You can't manufacture that, and you certainly can't put a price on it.
There's probably a lot of folks out there who choose to live without children in their lives. For most of the calendar year, I get that. Kids complicate our lives, that's for sure. But whether I'm out and about, or with our family, looking at those amazing expressions, I just don't understand how anyone would want to pass up on the pure joy. Who's face do you see when you think about your favorite sight of the holidays?
Nothing I've ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children.

Daddy's ambrosia truly seemed to be the "food of the gods". I can still see him sitting at the dining room table, orange juice running down his arms as he mixed the fruity concoction with his hands. Unfortunately, a picture of Daddy's ambrosia was not to be had. That's okay, because pecan pie is a very close second runner up in my favorite taste of the season. Pecans may be good for you in moderation, but you wrap them up in all that sugar, corn syrup, and eggs, and it is nothing but guilty pleasure.
So the pie isn't perfect? Cut it into wedges. Stay in control, and never panic.

My favorite touch in the whole wide world is the touch of the ones I love most in the whole wide world. Is there anything sweeter than those tiny fingers wrapped around yours, eyes wide with trust and expectation? If you think that's mushy, you should see my whole family when we get together, all kinds of hugging and kissing, and not just on the little ones!
Hold puppies, kittens, and babies anytime you get the chance.

My dearest prayer for each of you is that you have felt the touch of the Babe in a manger. I pray that your eyes have widened in trust, expectation and amazement at the gift He came to offer to each of us, and reached out to hold onto the hand He's stretching out to you.
