FUMC Brings Community Christmas Celebration to the Drive-In
How do you bring a Christmas message of hope and joy to the chaos of 2020?

Recently, I lost a special friend. Hername was Punky Brewster. She was my friend of almost 12 years, and she was a Dachshund. I am a strong believer that every boy or man needs the friendship of a good dog.
Since we have put up our tree, Starfox has knocked it down three times, almost knocked it down-Godknows how many times-and we have to keep getting onto him for chewing on the lights. He is by far one of the most nerve-wrecking animals I have ever had, but I guess I gotta love that about him. He keeps my home life far from boring.
With Thanksgiving now behind us, Christmas season has officially begun. Every year, our Christmas traditions always start the weekend after Thanksgiving. We eat leftovers in the days followed by Thanksgiving and then we decorate the tree at my Nana’s house with my cousins. Decorating the tree at my grandparent’s house is a tradition that has been around in our family for as long as I can remember.
So, I have been reading some of the letters to Santa for 2020. Most of the letters are hilarious, while others are caring and simple. I am glad that I no longer need to stress about “asking Santa” to get the coolest toys in high demand. I gave up submitting to the commercialization of Christmas a while ago. Instead of running around trying to remember to get a gift for everyone; Instead of standing in long lines for doorbuster sales, Instead of having a meltdown while deciding what would be the perfect gift--I sit back and watch everyone else stress.
