What is Christmas Nick?
"Christmas is when Santa brings presents to celebrate Jesus birthday!"
We didn't even have to explain that Jesus is the real reason for Christmas and not santa, Nick just put the two together!
Christmas was beautiful! We really felt the true spirit of Christmas this year. If you recall a few blogs ago about when a man with a white beard bought us dinner after our children called him grandpa, well that same man dropped off gifts for the kids at the shop. How nice and an extreme surprise!
Also, the family that bought all those boxes of food for thanksgiving.. Well they also adopted us for Christmas. There were so many presents it was crazy! Our tree was overflowing! It was so fun opening gifts, we had no clue what was in them. We felt like kids again! Our kids opened and opened until they lost interest and just wanted to play with the toys. Tom and I took the liberty and finished opening.
Christmas was really nice. It wasn’t all the gifts. it was just one gift. The reason we celebrate. I look at my children and cannot even fathom giving one of them to a people, that in comparison to God are smaller that ants, which spat on in his face and His creation. I don’t understand, but am very thankful that He did. Thank you Jesus!
