December is the one month of the year where the whole month revolves around 1 day! Think about it, we shop, eat, party, and travel all for one special event: Christmas day.
We had several parties to go to this year: Steelworks of the Carolinas (one of QuickDraw's customers), my boss had a Christmas party at his house that we went to, a church dinner and a youth get together. The youth get together was very interesting as we split up into 4 teams and created gingerbread houses. It was a blast! Especially since there were quite a few young kids there. They were very eager to decorate the houses.
We also got to go to the Living Tree this year which is a presentation that a few of the Southern Baptist churches put on in our area. It's a 35 ft. Christmas tree constructed from wood and steel and the choir stands on the tiers. It was a great presentation and we really enjoyed it!
Jonathan's birthday is December 19th, and this year for his birthday we decided to go to the Greenville Symphony Orchestra's Christmas concert: Holiday at Peace. This presentation was held in the Peace Center. Again, it was a great presentation and was most enjoyable!!
It's not quite Christmas yet, but already we've enjoyed many things that revolve around Christmas.
We had our Christmas cantata at church last Sunday night and we will have it again this Sunday night, Christmas Eve. It went really really well last week and we are praying that it will be the same this week.

The cats are just lying around waiting for Christmas to get here so that they can get into the toys that they've been sniffing out around the house. :-)

Wow! You had a busy month. Our's was mostly calm since we did not join our church until the middle of the month. By then, there were not many "functions" to attend. Now for the really fun part - taking down the decorations. I hate this part. But, after a while, I really yearn for my "normal" house. Well, can't wait to read your next blog!
Love,
