My only hope for Christmas is for my kids to understand the true meaning -- that they can verbalize why we celebrate. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and with buying, giving and accepting gifts. I pray my kids can always understand that our reason for giving gifts is to try and emulate God blessing us with THE gift.
"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. ~ William A. Ward
"If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself." ~Charles Shultz
"The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention."
~Richard Moss
