December 24, 2016 Saturday#ChristmasEve#enjoyfamily

Get Fit
I have a house full of company so exercising is tough.  Just remember today when you are enjoying the holiday fare of cookies and candies - visit the vegetable tray!

Get Faith
Isaiah 9:1-7  This prophetic writing: vs8 "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  On this night the light will be born and we no longer walk in darkness.  Praise God for this holiest of gifts.

On this day
1976 - I had made stockings for everyone this year.  My sister in law was pregnant with Merri, due in February.  I made her stocking with a big lump in it.  That was the last time I gave stockings for Christmas because I found out how expensive it is.  It was a lot of fun and I noticed how much Bob, Mom's husband enjoyed his stocking.  He had been raised by an Aunt and Uncle in Bay City on the farm and never been married.  He hadn't had a Christmas like the ones we shared.  How about your family?  Do you go all out? or do you keep it calm and serene?  What ever you do, enjoy!

1814 - The War of 1812 between the U.S. and Britain was ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in Belgium. Great Christmas gift for our country, but why in Belgium?  And, wasn't this the same time we were in at war in New Orleans?  Same war?  I need to study some history.

Zimbabwe Christmas
Over the last decade Zimbabwe has had many changes, please see the Zimbabwe Country profile at BBC News and Zimbabwe Situation for more information. This is a short video about Christmas being better in 2009 in Zimbabwe  Interesting to go to this site and see all the celebrations around the world!  Merry Christmas

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday to Pastor Julie!
