Real-Life Reflections and Thoughts

Christmas is a season filled with love, faith, and cherished traditions. In this post, Dianne shares her 10 favorite Christmas traditions that make the holiday meaningful—from oyster stew on Christmas Eve to Christmas Eve worship. Each one reflects joy, family connection, and the true reason for the season.

When it comes to Christmas, children naturally fill the season with excitement and awe, while adults often lose that sense of wonder. This reflection invites us to rediscover Christmas through childlike eyes—where every story, song, and simple moment becomes a reason to be amazed again.

Advent begins tomorrow—a season not of rushing into Christmas, but of waiting, preparing, and rediscovering the wonder of Christ’s coming. Join Dianne in exploring the beauty, curiosity, and admiration that make the Advent story so meaningful.
