I'm REALLY looking forward to our TWO Open Houses this weekend:
The first one is our annual Christmas Open House for the young adults of our church (and those who help me in ministering to them). Every year our house is stuffed with singles, young married couples, young parents, kids, and friends who enjoy catching up with one another, or meeting a new friend, or enjoying the fire, or having a deep conversation by the Christmas tree, or enjoying a game of ping-pong in the basement, or tasting some of the amazing food my wife makes. Always a good time, and I'm looking forward to seeing people tonight. Come anytime between 6:00 pm and midnight tonight.
The second open house is a neighborhood event. Last year, my wife said, "We already have the house decorated and food made for the young adult open house, why don't we invite neighbors over for an evening and do the same thing?" So this year we are opening our home up for a couple of hours to catch up with neighbors. We've been hosting a summer neighborhood BBQ for several years, but we rarely get to see our neighbors once the weather turns cold. Hopefully a few will venture out in the freezing temps tomorrow night, and we'll all have fun hanging out for a little while (as long as they don't mind me sneaking peeks at the Big 12 Championship game - Go Huskers!).
