Precious Moments

This year, I have not been into the Holiday spirit like other years. I didn't know why??? I just assume that I have been busy and Christmas just came all of a sudden without any warning. Ok, I was warned :). However, my usual Christmas cheer has not been around. I have been contemplating why my cheer has diminished to an all time low, and I have been stumped. We have seen Christmas lights, I have a tree up, my child is more then excited for Christmas and we have listened to Christmas music. So what is my problem? Maybe it is the simple fact that I have not taken the time to think about my precious moments this year. I have been so busy that the "meaning" of Christmas has not been in my mind.

Meaning of Christmas.
Two words: The first part- Christ
the second part MAS- More
In other words more Christ.

As a christian, I am very grateful for a Holiday that means to bring in more Christ. What a sweet sentiment that statement says every time we say it. "more christ"

I was also thinking of the movie "Its a wonderful life". I notice that as a mother who is going to grad school, sometimes I don't sit and think of the little precious moments of this life- after that contemplation about that sweet movie.
Precious moments list
1. I love hearing my husband and daughter talk before she is going to sleep.
2. One of my favorite sounds is to hear my little daughter sing Christmas music in the back seat of my car.
3. I love it when my daughter comes up to me and gives me a kiss and a hug when I come home.
4.I love having a reminder each night that I need to give her a hug and kiss, or else she won't go to bed. 5. I met up with some old friends this Holiday, and realized that they are like family to me, and how precious was that time with them. I am very grateful for caring people like them in my life.
6. I love being with my mother. I love spending time with her in the kitchen and helping her cook. She is a role model. I am very grateful I got to do that this holiday season.
7. I take a picture with my heart, when my daughter goes and sits on grandparents laps. It is a loving moment that needs to be cherished.
8. I enjoy my husband and love how he and I have a caring sweet relationship. We love each other so much. This love has grown strong and thick. I love giving him a hug! He is so huggable.
9. Being with family has been huge this season. I am very honored to have a wonderful family in all sides.
10. I love drinking hot chocolate with my little girl. I can't express how much joy she brings to me sometimes. Although, I am not a big hot chocolate fan, I love how she tells me to drink some with her, eat breakfast with her, and her general wanting to be with me all the time. It is a great blessing that I must not take for granted.

May we all cherish our precious moments this season!

Merry Christmas!
Love the Campos Family
