We're making our list and checking it twice.
We hope that this week brings many things nice.

Surely it will - things like:
- family togetherness
- friends and neighbors
- serving and giving
- listening to Christmas songs
- watching Christmas movies
- baking and eating
- finishing our individual reading of the Book of Mormon before the end of the year
- even building our deck...

and so much more, like
- talking to Elder Michael Hebdon on Christmas Eve.
We usually get to talk to our missionary sons on Christmas day, but we get to talk to him a day earlier because of the difference in the time zone he is in. We look forward to it.

I'm afraid this week is going to go by too fast. I'm going to try to savor every minute of it. I just love the Christmas time of year and all that it represents.
