This year we decided to start the tradition with the boys of lighting the advent candles. Although Reid is still a bit young to understand all that this means, we wanted to be sure he begins to learn that there is more to Christmas than just Santa & presents!
It is really neat to light these candles and think about the true meaning behind Christmas. It helps Rod & I to also gain perspective and not get so caught up in all the "hoop-la" of presents.
I love this time of year for soooo many reasons, but the birth of Christ is our true reason for celebrating this season. Thank you Lord for sending your Son, the most precious gift of all.
