Sane, Simple, Sacred: A "Christmas Carol" Moment
http://lifeandgodliness-rebecca.blogspot.com/2011/11/may-your-days-be-merry-and-bright.html
Sane, Simple, Sacred. Life and Godliness - 2 Peter 1:3. A "Christmas Carol" Moment. It's not easy, is it?

Praying that NOTHING will be artificial about Christmas in your heart and home this year.
