Christmas Traditions.

Only a few days left.  I love this time of year.  I remember  when I was little each night before going to bed we would sit in front of the Christmas tree with all the lights off, just the tree lights like the angels that sang to announce His birth.  Traditions have been,  in the last few years, Celebrating the Birth of Jesus.
 I love baking.  I love shopping.  I love visiting with family. My favorite thing is to make is the cake.  It is not just any cake it is HIS Cake.
 Now that I live in Texas I want to create new traditions but I don't want to make them just for the sack of making them.  I haven't connected closely with alot of people that aren't busy with there own stuff.  I want to make new traditions here so that I can look to the future of a life here in Texas.

update: Christmas has come and gone.  It was wonderful.  They had a Christmas choir at church.  Bri and I were blessed to be a part of that.  It helped to connect with people.  Everyone was really engaged with each other and Christmas dinner.  It snowed here in Texas and did not snow in Tennessee.  So things are looking up. Well the community part of life is.  I like pictures of snow.  This is December 26th out my front door. I am one that makes the hot chocolate while everyone else is sledding.  Oh wait it is Texas they don't have many places to sled. The hot chocolate was good.

                The Birthday cake I made did not look like this at all.  The icing slid of off half of the cake.  Depends on how you look at it.  We had a good excuse to scoop up the icing.  Everyone loved it.  My brother does not like peppermint so made  little cupcake just for him.  With regular icing.  I ran off and left it at the house.  Quess what I found out? You got it.  He does not like red velvet cake
