This year our kids sure got it! They know that we celebrate Christmas because it's Jesus' birthday and He came to Earth to save us, love us, and teach us how to be kind, loving, patient, and giving to others. They will tell us that first when we ask about it. They love their angel they have instead of an Elf, we watch more Jesus centered Christmas movies, we give to others during the season, we look forward to Advent and our daily devotions, we focus on Jesus and they love it. We do enjoy the gifts and Santa too, but they get it! I am so glad! This year Delaney told the whole Christmas story with the help of the manger scene on the fireplace, it was so sweet and she barely missed a detail. We love our Christmas Cards from family and friends, we hang them all on our pantry door and then, sometime in February we will start to pick a card each day and talk about and pray for that family. It's one of my favorite things.
