We had a great evening at Haubstadt's second annual tree lighting ceremony. There was a golf cart parade (which we didn't participate in) with well over 30 lit and decorated carts which ended in town. Santa was there, they lit the tree, and there were refreshments and plenty of people there to celebrate. Better then all of those things someone said a prayer before the tree lighting which sounded a lot like what we heard at church this morning. There is no name more significant than "Immanuel". This name, which Matthew refers to in his Gospel (Matthew 1:23), was first given to Jesus by the prophet Isaiah 700 years before His birth (Isaiah 7:14). This very special Christmas name, as Matthew tells us, means "God with us." I love this time of year, and I love that our family will be making a commitment to have a lot more of this "Christmas spirit" throughout this next year!!
