Good day! This is week two in my Guest Series for Christmas! This week we have a post from Marlee Drago. I hope you enjoy!
1. Tell me a little bit about yourself, hobbies, family, background, ect.
Merry Christmas!!! I was soooo excited when Ellie asked me to write for her blog!!!! I live in Anderson, SC, and have two amazing parents, and a little brother and sister who I adore! I enjoy hangin’ with my besties, and walking with one of my best friends whenever I can! And fall/winter season is my favorite time of year!
2. What is your favorite part of Christmas?/ How does is bring home the meaning of Christmas to you?
My favorite part about the Christmas season is the reminder that our great God took on the form of a baby just so that we could be saved! It just reminds me that even though it is fun to receive gifts and eat food, etc. The biggest thing I have to remind myself in the Christmas season is that we need to die to ourselves just as Christ did for us!
3. What are some of your family traditions?
Our family’s biggest (and my favorite) Christmas tradition is when we go and get our Christmas tree! We make it a whole night of small but very fun activities! We go get our tree, look at Christmas lights, get doughnuts, and watch a Christmas movie!
4. What is the best present you have ever gotten, who gave it to you and why did you like it so much?
This one is really hard!!! I really enjoy the presents that mean something! my favorite one was probably ukulele that I got last year! I really enjoyed that one because it set me off on one of my favorite hobbies! Music! It has taught me more things then I thought, the biggest thing was learning to stick with something even though I really did no enjoy it at the time!
5. Explain your dream Christmas.
My dream Christmas would probably be Christmas somewhere where it snows, the living room has windows every where, a fire and my WHOLE family together!
6. Is Christmas your favorite holiday? Why or Why not?
Christmas probably is my favorite holiday! I really enjoy it because most of the time everyone is happy! ( I hope) It is such a warm season! And I also LOVE warm drinks from Starbucks!!!!
7. Which is better: Christmas or Easter? Why?
Christmas is probably my favorite! I like it because of advent, the fact that Christ came down to this sinful earth for me, and everyone is together!
8. What are your hopes for this Christmas?
My hopes for this Christmas are, to be in the Bible more, spend more quality time with my friends, do more for advent, and just enjoy this season of time together! I hope all you have a great Christmas!!!
I hope you enjoyed this post, next week we will have a post from… Anna Stowe!
Being a Christian is absolutely wonderful. I think it is amazing that the God of the universe who made the 7 billion trillion stars and . . .
Until the Christmas music started to play on the radio, and we got out the tree and lights, I forgot how much I love Christmas . . .
