Sorry Kay,
Are you interested in my personal life (which I've
already discussed on the list) or are you using this to
confront me about our own tradition? If the
latter is true then I can say that we had family around and
I did enjoy spending
time with three of our four children and our 2yr old grandson who is a
joy... although
it grieves me to see the next generation
replicating the same mistakes we made ...
generational blindness I
guess and we ignorantly trained them in it. I'm
not into Christmas trees or traditional Christmas either for
that matter and I haven't put a tree up in
years - but I
do participate with the family because it is important
to them and we can't always have things
our way.... Loving them and trusting the Lord to open their eyes
is more important right now. judyt
