Advice for Advent, Christmas, and the year

Advent: Prepare a stable in your heart for Jesus, Mary and Joseph, by controlling tempers, fights, and teasing. (This one is for me!) Make a beautiful gift for the Christ Child by praying the rosary as a family, and saying special prayers for the souls in purgatory. It pains Jesus to see the souls suffer for Heaven. Think about others and not yourself if you are making an X-mas letter to St. Nick. I love to crochet and make things for family members as well as I like receiving gifts! Make a real effort to make things easier for your mom and dad, husband, or sibling! Anything helps! Christmas: Don't quickly pull the things out of your stocking! Enjoy the moment! I'm trying this, this year as well! Save your christmas candy so as not to go to sleep on christmas night with stomach pains. Limit yourself at the christmas feast. One rumball is a lot for young stomachs. Remember to thank your gift givers for their time and money on making or buying your gift! Remember Jesus's birth throughout the day as it is his B-day and he has no gift such as toys, and electric trains! Make sure you sing songs with a new meaning for Jesus. Jesus will appreciate even if it is the old "Jingle Bells"! Thank Jesus for giving you a wonderful X-mas day! He gave his birthday all to you because he loves you so much! 2014: See the old year out with many good deeds and start the new, with many more! Make a resolution and then tape it on your bedroom wall and stick to it! Make sure you have a good and honest goal before you start doing it!

Advent Blessings! Avi P.S. This is the Shroud of Turin, my dad is very dedicated to this image, sincerely.
