Your post triggered some thoughts for me that I turned into a post of my own. Just thought I'd share in case you're interested. http://pursuinghealthyliving.blogspot.com/2012/12/what-did-jesus-do-with-wisemens-gifts.htmlMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338142024644216875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-90561574871978568112012-12-17T00:17:14.048-05:002012-12-17T00:17:14.048-05:00Beautiful post and I love the meaning behind the n...Beautiful post and I love the meaning behind the nativity. I think I've learned to let go of alot of things temporally, hoping to learn to let go of all things so I can humbly receive all things the Lord is ready to give my open heart - especially JOY. http://seekingzion.blogspot.com/2012/11/humbly-receive.htmlTiffaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508201361489460187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-45608944781570707512012-12-16T23:23:00.049-05:002012-12-16T23:23:00.049-05:00A very lovely thought provoking post.

I loved all of your pictures especially the one with you little one. <br />I am going to ponder upon your question. What can I let go of. <br />Blessings to you and keep on enjoying the sounds and feelings of Christmas.

This year I am going to let go of the expectation that everything has to be perfect so that I can cherish the time with my children without feeling disappointed that it didn't go the way I wanted it to.

Promised 2 other nativities to 2 other siblings but that will be at some future time. and I still weep about that. We mortals are just so strange! I need to let go of the idea that homes are living, breathing, talking things and that 809 isn't mad at me for selling it to people who didn't love her! Really I'd like to let go of about 100 pounds...like that's gonna happen!

I'm having a baby anytime from next week until New Year's and I just got called to be the Primary President in our ward. I'm so overwhelmed and tired. I'm realizing what is most important is to just be there with my family even though I won't get the presents made that I wanted, or do the little traditional things I'd hoped to do. I'm giving up even the merest glimmer of a "picture perfect" Christmas and plan on being satisfied with some simple family time enjoying a new baby in our own home.
