It's been a lovely day of Christmas fairs and shopping for presents, then our first Christmas party with my husband's colleagues- our first Christmas party in 2 years as we couldn't make any last year!
We queued for an extraordinarily long time with Faith at the local garden centre to meet Father Christmas- and what a Father Christmas he was! We all agreed he had to be the real one.
It's so lovely that at nearly 10 she still believes- to see the wonder in her eyes as she chatted with him. What a precious memory. I want to approach Christmas with the same wide eyed innocence- to cast off my cynicism and fully embrace the joy and wonderment- to come to Jesus with a child like faith and discover the treasure of his kingdom.
