Show Friday, December 15, 1989 The Summit County Bee 19C The Spirit of Christmas Is Being Together With Families by Reed and Lynette Moody Our family enjoys the spirit of Christmas as songs are sung and the feeling of caring, helping and loving others are felt strongly at this time. Our favorite thing to do as a family, aside from decorating the tree, listening to carols and the Christmas Story, is being with our extended family during the holidays. Distance between is a concern for us so we take turns being with each side of the family on alternate years. We'd like to share two special holidays that have brought the Christmas spirit close to us. Over the past few years, Reed's family has been spread out from Africa to the Eastern United States to Utah. It was a real treat therefore in 1987 when all his family gathered for Christmas time. It was a usual Moody gathering with late night Rook games, grandchildren running everywhere and the traditional Christmas day basketball game. What made it special was being together with everyone after a long absence and sharing past Christmas memories together. One year earlier held fond memories of the birth of our second son on Dec. 20. Christmas carols miracle. Our father not only recovered from his attach but was released to spend Christmas day with his family. While we paused for a brief moment around the gifts, words of love and gratitude were shared. For us. the true spirit of Christmas was being felt. As gifts were exchanged and all of the tradition::! activities resumed, we realized the greatest gift of fall was to have our family together. With our family getting older we will now spend Christmas day for the first time in Ho; isxille We will spend part of the holiday, however, with the granJparenis. Each year as Christmas nears, me thing we look forward to the mo.,! is being with our family to enjo the Christmas spirit. in-la- is CTgggas agfigsgasa g PRECISION TRUCK & TRAILER REPAIR ft?
