A new angle on Chistmas

I finally realized how close to Christmas we are getting (Glad I've got my Christmas shopping done). This year we have an unusual guest in are nativity scene. For the second year in a row dad has put a dragon in our nativity set symbolizing the devil.
This unusual occurrence stems from Christmas last year. Dad was trying to find a sermon he could preach on Sunday (Christmas day) about Christmas that no one had heard before. Of course it seemed totally random when dad burst out of the office on Saturday, asking for a red dragon. Being familiar with a certain kind of Lego featuring dragons I just so happened to have one. Dad selected a smaller one and put it in the nativity set and took my bigger one and put it in his room. When mom asked what the dragon was doing in the nativity set dad said you'll see tomorrow.
On Sunday dad gave an excellent sermon from Revelation on how the devil portrayed as a red dragon (Rev 12) was there too. Unfortunately my dragon only had one head instead of seven but the message came across just fine.
This year dad gave the same sermon in a different way. By having the kids hold his illustrations it made for a somewhat jerky process (the unpredictability of the kids) but got the message across.And once again dad put the dragon in our nativity set. I think he'll put one there every year for the rest of his life. You know what? I think I will too.

Winter 2

I'm writing another post on the weather seeing as some people didn't understand what I meant. The point was to say I love snow! That includes the freezing cold that comes with January. Of course the weather hasn't been the best for that. I rolled my now customary 3 foot snowball the instant we got enough of the right kind of snow. It ended up being 3' 8" which turned out for the best I suppose seeing as the warm weather has reduced it to 3' 2". Over the winter I intend to keep rolling it so that when spring comes I can call it the first snow and the last snow of the season. I intend to give updates on its condition periodically over the winter.
