O Tidings of Comfort and Joy

So a lot has been going on lately. Wednesday we had some people to our house for our Wednesday night bible study. It was a lot of fun. My sister Jenny, Our married couple friends Andy and Jenn, and also Rachel, all surprised us with an early Christmas gift. It is a fire pit bowl thing with a little bench. So after our bible study, we went outside into the cool air and lit the fire and it was so cozy and nice. We all just sat outside around the fire for awhile. Very nice of them to get that for us!

Last night we went over to my parents house for cookies, hot chocolate, & coffee along with a lot of people from church. They had gone Christmas caroling around the neighborhood, and we met up with them afterwards since Sujeet gets home from work a little late. They said they had a wonderful time caroling, and that at a lot of people's houses they visited, the people were very happy and surprised to have carolers. The carolers would hand anyone who answered the door a Christmas card. Of course they didn't do it for money, but one lady thought so and went to get them money and they told her, no we won't take money!

Tonight we are going to a "tacky Christmas sweater party" at Andy and Jenn's house. They are a fun couple. They are always thinking up weird and funny party themes! So we all are expected to show up in ugly sweaters, preferably wearing gaudy Christmas broaches and jewelry. Too bad I don't have a puffy painted Christmas sweater!! That'd be hilarious.

There are other things we have to do this weekend as well. It will be action packed, but I'm glad! It's the holidays, a fun time to be out doing things.
