Attitude of Gratitude... 30 Days of Thanksgiving! Day 21
DAY 21
I have to say, there is something magical about Christmas Lights! I love the tradition we started a couple of years ago of piling in Lindsay's van in our jammies with hot cocoa and driving around Sioux Falls looking at Christmas lights; ooooing and ahhing at the colors, the intricacy, the simplicity, the wonder of the bright lights and lighted yard art! Christmas music is usually playing or Christmas songs are being sung. Fun times, for sure! It is especially magical when there is snow, as the lights are so much brighter and more twinkly with the white backdrop.
Is there a tradition surrounding the holidays that is your favorite? If not, get creative and think of something you can start this year. What better year than 2020 to make a positive and lasting memory for years to come?
Today, I am grateful for:
Popcorn - I'm sure I've listed this one before but it does deserve repeating
Christmas lights on houses and businesses - so many up already - makes me smile
A super kind store employee today made smile

My friend having a day that was better than expected
God's sovereignty - Seems like I am just really beginning to understand what this entails
Being able to work today.
