Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  Being a resident of Grapevine, I am proud of our city's celebration of Christmas.  Downtown Grapevine reminds me of Bedford Falls in my all-time favorite movie, It's A Wonderful Life.  If you haven't seen the light show at the gazebo area in downtown you need to check it out.  It takes place ever half hour.  Pat and I went to the musical presentation, I'll Be Home for Christmas at the Grapevine Opry.  It was a lot of fun.  Tonight we went to the airport and welcomed home some of our troops.  We had talked about doing this for months but just now got around to doing it.  If you haven't ever taken part in this check out the website for info. http://dfwairport.com/heroes/index.php

Tomorrow night we will have our first ever Christmas eve service at Fellowship of the Parks Grapevine.  I feel so very blessed to get to celebrate this special occasion with these incredible people.  Our service will be at 5 at Faith Christian School located at 730 E. Worth Street in Grapevine.

 The best part of Christmas is spending time with Pat and the kids - John, Jenilee and Caroline.  Having grown up in a single parent home, I dreamed of having a family to and celebrating Christmas together.   Now I get to live the dream.  I am blessed.
