Merry Christmas 🎄 Happy New Year

Hello friends, it’s already December 23, and I can hardly believe it’s not only the end of the year but also the end of another decade! The Christmas decorations and crazy traffic definitely show that it’s only two days till Christmas.

We’re currently in North NSW with Eric’s family for Christmas, and driving up here we went past some of the 1.6 million hectares that have been burnt in the recent bushfires. It’s such an eerie scene, especially seeing so many of the fires are still out of control with no end in sight. We can’t help but feel for the thousands that are displaced from their homes and the hundreds of volunteer firefighters who are bravely facing up to this continuing beast. Our biggest hope and prayer this Christmas is that there will be rain.

How do you spend Christmas in your part of the world? Ours is filled with Christmas lights, Christmas Eve Carols, food and secret Santas with relatives. Trips to the beach to cool down from the heat and fridges that are filled with watermelon, mangoes and maybe a Pavlova or trifle. Telling Jesus’s story and sharing the ultimate gift He gave that will never be topped.

We are on our last workday before taking off two weeks at the end of the year. We find it’s so important to take time to “switch off” and refresh even without an employer telling us it’s vacation time. We hope that you’ve all been able to download our Christmas gift to you that we sent out the last email. If you missed it, grab yours here.

It’s nearly 2020… Wow! A new decade and with it brings our 10th anniversary of being Musicianaries! 10 years?! How has it already been that long? So thankful to God! We have a couple ideas of how we are going to mark this anniversary next year, so can’t wait to share this with you all.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! We hope that you all feel God’s peace throughout Christmas.

Monique 😘
