Merry Christmas

“In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:1-7‬ ‭

“And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:30-33‬ ‭

Merry Christmas Eve Eve dear friends! This is the last of my Christmas decor posts. If you were to drive up the hill to my home and park, this would be the porch you would see first…known as the kitchen porch! When you arrive, you will hear Christmas music playing on our outdoor speakers and the fragrant scent of pine as you approach the steps. We hope it is a cheerful welcome because side door guests are always the best!

A simple greeting to welcome guests!
