OLM Season's Special Meaning

Marie over at Old Lady Morgan is at it again...spreading good cheer and giving away some of her ADORABLE creations.  As part of the giveaway, she'd like us to post about one thing that makes this holiday season special for us.  I thought a while about this, and feel that without attending the special Christmas church services, the whole reason for the season is lost, and I think that is what makes this season the most special for me.  It is there that we are reminded about the true meaning of giving and we get to celebrate the greatest birth in history.  Of course, I also hold dear the family get-togethers, the giving of gifts to my loved ones, the decorating and parties, but they are all preparations for CHRISTmas day. 

Have a wonderful day everyone - later I will be posting Day 11 of my Twelve Days of Christmas Share-a-thon.  I'm keeping fairly quiet about the giveaway that is included with this event, because I wanted to keep it for those faithful followers of mine.  I'm checking my blog comments daily and making note of who has been visiting me....you will all have your name put into the hat to receive one of my creations...the drawing will be held on Sunday evening.  I will be posting a picture of the giveaway item on Day 12!
