My Christmas List is more than just a way to keep track of the special people God has brought into my life to love. It's like a treasured scrapbook filled with pleasant memories of all the times God's answered prayers through friends and family.
Every name's a touchstone that leads to a place and time where God has used another's heart to reach out and touch mine. It may have happened years ago or even yesterday, but every person on my list has changed my life some way.
Through simple conversation, a warm hug or a shared meal, every person on my list has helped me grow or heal, or laugh, or love, or learn, or smile...the blessings never end as God allows our paths to cross as family and friends.
So please know that this greeting is more than a Christmas wish. It's a "thank you" card to God for putting on my list each and every one whose name I've come to hold so dear...those who've shown me Christmas joy each day of the year.

This will have to suffice for my Christmas card this year. I didn't get one out last year as my Dad passed away on December 8th, and this year....well it's obvious why it's not getting out. My mom said that if something happens next year in December, she's writing Christmas off for good. Thank you, to all of you, who truly are a Christmas blessing to us this year.
Scarlet, I loved your Christmas Card, the words really touched my heart. It is absolutely the perfect message at a wonderful time of year, celebrating our Saviors birth. It led me back to times in my life in which people reached out to me and held me up. I am grateful as well and your Christmas Card help me realize these things. Thank you Scarlet
