T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN TEXAS!

Merry Christmas from the front porch in TEXAS!

It is a rare night indeed in that it is SNOWING here in Texas. One report was that there has not been a white Christmas in Dallas since 1926! But the view from this front porch is definetly white...snow everywhere.

So I've posted a few pictures..of the Gabbard Christmas celebrations. We alternate holiday gatherings...an 'agreement' that we started years ago..it has worked out pretty good. We get everyone one holiday say Thanksgiving and then for Christmas that year everyone can go with the other side of the family and the next year visa versa. This year we will not only have a white Christmas but a quite one as well.

Shopping is done...presents mailed off to those who are out of town...cooking started for Christmas dinner tomorrow, just got home from the candlelight service at church, snowing outside, a roaring fire in the fireplace and "It's a Wonderful Life" is on the TV.....it is indeed a very Merry Christmas!

So from this white front porch to yours....perhaps you are like me really experiencing a white Christmas or maybe just ....as the song goes...'dreaming of a white Christmas' as the song goes 'may your day be merry and bright'. But when it is all said and done if you know Him who whose birthday we are celebrating..it will indeed be a blessed day! He is still the reason for the season.
