The Magic of Christmas

There is something magical about the excitement in your kids that Christmas generates. You sense is in the days and weeks leading up to the big day. You hope that the kids feel that spirit of giving. The boys and I have already had a few talks about what the true meaning of Christmas is and what is means to us. We have talked about being thankful for what we have. We need to realize just how much we do have and should be grateful for. We have talked about charities and gone shopping for some of, with the boys picking out items. Demi and I have had discussions about a good scenario for getting the family actively involved in a charity. The boys and I have discussed thoughtful presents for Demi and others.
So on Christmas morning, when the boys faces light up, I really get excited as well. That innocence and excitement are just infectious. Yes, the boys are excited about their presents, but they are just as excited giving presents. They spent hours wrapping presents for the family. The tied bows and wrote labels. The created presents for the family, ornaments, photo albums, and other crafts. The boys really put a lot of thought and effort in the holiday this year. Demis and I are just so proud of them.
