Aris and Zane love Christmas. According to Aris, Christmas is about a little baby named Jesus, who takes care of all the people, and was born in a manger. Zane says that Christmas is about trees with lights. They are excited about presents, parties and trees. Thankfully, both children are just as excited about buying presents for people as they are about getting them.
We have been listening to Christmas music as a family since the first of December. (Although some of us started listening to it a couple weeks earlier, while Daddy was at work:) Their favorite songs are Away in a Manger and Jingle Bells. Aris is very excited about her holiday performance next week at school. At the moment, she is refusing to tell me what songs will be sung at the concert as it is a "surprise".
My children's excitement is a good reminder that Christmas is more than just a very busy time of year. As we answer their questions, we are reminded of the Christmas story so long ago. As we talk about our baby that will be born soon, Aris reminds us of a little tiny baby born in a stable and visited by shepherds. Zane and Aris wish you a merry Christmas!
