Happy Christmas Eve! I hope everything is going well with all of you this Christmas. Our family is also very excited- Cashew and Pistachio have the exact amount of hours left figured out (almost to the minute!). The funny thing is that we aren't allowed to leave our rooms until 7:00 am Christmas Morning, so they're very forlorn. We're playing Christmas Music, wrapping last minute presents, and waiting anxiously for the rest of the extended family to come over so that we can gobble up the danish pastries waiting on the counter. They are definitely my favorite Christmas tradition. :)
But through all the hustle and bustle of family, food, happiness, activities, and Santa Claus, the true spirit of Christmas shines through: The innocent baby born in a lonely manger in Bethlehem so many years ago.
The wealthy and prominent were not there to celebrate his birth; the humble shepherds from the nearby hillsides, watching over their flocks, were told instead. The king made no speech to commemorate his birth, instead, concourses of angels sang. This little baby, so innocent and meek, would someday redeem all the world from everlasting torment. This was the son of God.
I love the saying "Wise Men still seek Him." It is true. Christ is the spirit of Christmas and the true reason for this wonderful time of the year. He is what makes it wonderful. I hope all of you have a wonderful, Christ-Centered Christmas this year!

I told my kids they couldn't come out of their rooms until 7 am too!
