That night we enjoyed the wonderful meal that I prepared (if I do say so myself) and opened gifts. We put out special cookies for Santa, read our story about the birth of Jesus, and hit the sack early because we knew Santa would make his stop at our house!
I think it is very important to make sure our children know that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus...not about getting lots of toys. Since we have a 2 year old, we keep it simple; I have explained to Kamryn that we celebrate Christmas because it is Jesus's birthday....and that Santa delivers toys to the little boys and girls because that's what Jesus wants for His birthday. We talk about how special Jesus is and how much He loves us.
So simple, so true.
Here are some pictures of Chrsitmas Eve.
