I felt like Santa last night as I put gifts under the tree and in the kids’ stockings after they went to bed. I decided that we’d open presents this morning since we’ll be out of town for Christmas. So we did our “Christmas” this morning. I got up early, baked cinnamon rolls, and then the kids started getting up. I loved seeing their faces as they saw the tree. What a delight it must have been for those who were there at the first Christmas when baby Jesus was born. Can you imagine! Going to visit him in the stable and seeing him in the manger! I get all tingly feeling when I think about it. Our Saviour came down to this earth as a man so he might live here for awhile and then eventually sacrifice himself for us like no other could. He separated himself from His Father and became flesh for us! I’m so thankful for all that he did for us and has accomplished. May we especially remember the true reason of why we celebrate Christmas at this time of year and always.
