Christmas. Oh, sweet Christmas day. The joy of our Savior's birth is what I try to teach my children. But the joy of their own presents seems to take the foreground for an hour on sacred Christmas morns. Nonetheless, it is a joyful time, giving gifts in honor of the King.
The kids enjoyed unstuffing their stockings and finding all the goodies that Santa
brought for them. In the excitement was Ariel screaming each time she opened a gift, and Nathaniel saying he would play with each thing "tomorrow". As each gift was opened, the previous one was tossed aside in anticipation that the currently opening gift would be something better than the last.

As each gift was opened, the previous one was tossed aside in anticipation that the currently opening gift would be something better than the last. By and by every last gift was opened and smiles were on all faces. Cleanup ensued
and the new toys kept them busy all day while Aunt Kim and I cooked and prepared for dinner.
It was a nice holiday, despite the rollercoaster ride of emotions that always fills our days, and it turns out that the children do know the real Christmas story. This special day is to celebrate the most in important birth of all- Christ Jesus!
