A few days ago, my facebook status was " I absolutely love Christmas." And I do. I love the music, the cheesy movies, the reindeer crafts, baking cookies. . .
. . . the parties with friends, the ice skating, getting a real christmas tree and decorating it with family.
I also love Christmas presents and of course I love the best Christmas gift of all. Christ Birth. This morning in church the pastor said he only ask one thing each year for the children's Christmas program. That it be about Jesus' birth and not some modern thing. Which I agree with him. Because that is what Christmas is all about.
I brought in the veggie tales' Christmas movie "The toy that saved Christmas" the other day in to my preschoolers for them to watch. And when it was all over the only thing my kids said was "Why wasn't Santa in it?" Is that what kids really think Christmas is all about?! Its depressing to think they do.
On a happy note I hope you guys all have a wonderful Christmas season and listen to plenty of Christmas music :)
I know what you mean, I asked my 2 year old son why we celebrated Christmas and he said Santa comes and gives us presents...Ah! I told him that was not the reason it's to celebrate Christ birth. Now I am debating whether or not to keep up with the Santa thing... :/
