Summary

Hey friends! It's hard to believe this is our last episode of 2023!! We are just blown away at the love and support y'all have shown us this year and we are so grateful you've been with us for the journey. We wanted to share some new adjustments we are making to our Christmas traditions in an attempt to honor the Lord in how we observe and celebrate the coming of Jesus. While we are certainly not against gifts and holiday festivities, we do want to examine our hearts inwardly to see if what we have always done should stay that way or change for the better. We pray this episode encourages you to keep the focus on Jesus and not lose sight of what (and who) really matters this Christmas season. Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you in 2024!

0:56.0	Halloween and why we're choosing not to celebrate that and kind of get in the whole spirit of Halloween.
1:02.4	And Molina made a comment that actually everyone in the comments

1:32.0	thinks that Christmas just came up really fast this year
1:34.7	but I cannot believe there were already two weeks away and so yeah it's wild in light of a lot of what I mentioned in the Halloween episode and a lot of what I feel like the
1:48.1	Lord has walked me through this year has been a lot of questioning why we do things that we do. And as our kids are getting older, I really
1:57.0	wrestled with celebrating Christmas. And up until a couple of days ago, I was even against getting a Christmas tree.
