The Christmas tree in our humble little apartment. As you can see, our family has taken good care of us as far as presents go. We will miss our annual family Christmas get together, but will try to share with our kids and grandkids courtesy of iPhones and Skype. What a wonderful time of year as we again celebrate the birth and life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We miss very much not only our family but all of our wonderful friends, and wish for each of you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with peace and happiness.
Last Saturday, on our preparation day, we drove to Frankenmuth, MI. which is up in the "thumb", near Saginaw. It is a Bavarian themed town, settled in the mid 1800's by a group of Lutheran missionaries. One of the big attractions there is Bronner's Christmas Wonderland. It is 8 acres of CHRISTMAS ! They have in the huge store over 600 kinds of nativity scenes from many countries, and over 5000 different Christmas tree ornaments for sale! Fun place to jump start the Christmas spirit.
We walk most mornings - unless the temps are single digits or below - on the MSU campus and along the Red Cedar river, which flows behind our apartment and through the campus. Whoops...did I say "flow"? Until spring, any water movement is below the ice and snow, as the river is mostly frozen over. Beautiful sight, though!
