We love Christmas. It is by far the best holiday. We love Christmas light drives (when did we become our parents?), family, eating cookies all the time, giving gifts and getting them, chocolate dipped whatever, crowded stores, crying kids on Santa's lap, snow, and everything else involved. We just recently put up our tree. Naomi loved the ornaments. But as much as we love the craziness and sometimes elaborateness of this season we want our kids to know different. We want them to learn to stop, to slow down, to be patient, to enjoy the little things, to love the giving more than receiving. We want them to understand that truly Christmas (whenever it really happened) was a pure, simple yet divine day when a precious baby boy was born in a manager.
